History
The 1936 Liechtenstein general election resulted in a win for the Progressive Citizens' Party, and the first Josef Hoop cabinet was succeeded, with Josef Hoop continuing as Prime Minister of Liechtenstein.{{Cite book |last1=Dieter Nohlen |title=Elections in Europe: A data handbook |last2=Philip Stöver |year=2010 |isbn=978-3-8329-5609-7 |pages=1164 |publisher=Nomos |language=de |author1-link=Dieter Nohlen }}{{Cite news |date=29 February 1936 |title=Der eröffnung des Landtages |url=https://www.eliechtensteinensia.li/viewer/image/000476564_1936/145/LOG_0028/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250321144142/https://www.eliechtensteinensia.li/viewer/image/000476564_1936/145/LOG_0028/ |archive-date=21 March 2025 |access-date=19 March 2025 |work=Liechtensteiner Volksblatt |pages=1 |language=de}}
During the government's term, in January 1937, Liechtensteiner Vaterland, editor and founding member of the Liechtenstein Homeland Service Carl Freiherr von Vogelsang, publicly denounced Jews living in Liechtenstein. They sent numerous letters detailing them to officials in Nazi Germany. As a result, Hoop ordered the offices of the Vaterland to be searched for any letters to be confiscated, and Vogelsang promptly left the country.{{Cite book |last=Peter Geiger |title=Liechtenstein in den Dreissigerjahren 1928–1939 |publisher=Liechtenstein Institut |year=1997 |isbn=3-906393-28-3 |edition=1st |location=Zürich |pages=371 |language=de}} Most of the Landtag approved of Hoop's actions, but members of the Patriotic Union called for his resignation over the issue, believing the search to be unconstitutional.{{Cite book |last=Peter Geiger |title=Liechtenstein in den Dreissigerjahren 1928–1939 |publisher=Liechtenstein Institut |year=1997 |isbn=3-906393-28-3 |edition=1st |location=Zürich |pages=372 |language=de}} It was decided that two special judges would determine the legal implications of the case. Eventually, in July 1937, both judges concluded that Hoop had not acted unconstitutionally by ordering the search against Vogelsang and was subsequently legally acquitted of any wrongdoing.{{Cite book |last=Peter Geiger |title=Liechtenstein in den Dreissigerjahren 1928–1939 |publisher=Liechtenstein Institut |year=1997 |isbn=3-906393-28-3 |edition=1st |location=Zürich |pages=373 |language=de}}
