Abstract
The federalism of Palacký was firstly influenced by statistical data about individual nations and nationalities within the Habsburg monarchy. During the revolution of 1848 - 1849 he linked his Pre-March Austro-Slavism with political Austro-federalism, though he failed to acquire sufficient political support.
This was also the same case after 1860. It was obvious that his Austro-federalism lacked the sufficient coalition potential to succeed above all among the Austrian Germans, which was most important at least.
