Abstract: The Institute for constitutional Ministerial criminal liability in Bulgaria is based on article 155–159 from the Constitution of the Bulgarian Principality, adopted in 1879. It provides for a specific procedure through which the members of the government to be judged outside of the civil courts. From 1880 to 1923, through this procedure four trials were held. In this case, we focus on the work of the Second State Court (1910 – 1914). He explores potential law violations committed by ministers from the popular liberal government of Bulgaria, in the period 1903–1908 years. Later, in 1913 year, the indictment was published. This research study analyzes major crimes that are subject to an indictment. The author of a scientific study comes to the conclusion that some of the allegations are unfounded. In 1914, as a result of political reasons, the decision of the Parliament was made to remove the criminal responsibility of the ministries of administration.
