Abstract: The problem of the quality of legislation is one of the basic questions of political theory and legal philosophy. However, the qualitative analysis of the theme have not brought so significant results as the theoritical importance of the question is. The study propose to measure the formal legislative quality of laws (FTM), developing a new quality index. The key of the FTM-index is the category system of the frequency of laws' modification. The study investigates empirically this index in connection with the period of 1990-2014 of the hungarian legislation. Based on regression analysis, among the explanatory variables primarly the government term have seemed determinative. Whithin this, the two Orbán governments showed the most different distribution: while between 1998 and 2002 the legislature showed above-average formal quality value, the cycle-variable and the quality of legislature showed really close and strongly negative relationship during the four years of 2010-2014.
