03.05.1791 | Constitution of May 3
The Constitution of May 3, 1791 (Polish: Konstytucja Trzeciego Maja; Belarusian: Канстытуцыя трэцяга мая; Lithuanian: Gegužės trečiosios Konstitucija) was adopted by the Great Sejm (parliament) of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, a dualistic state comprising Poland and Lithuania ruled by a common monarch. Drafted over 32 months since October 6, 1788 and adopted as a "Government Act" (Ustawa rządowa), the document was designed to redress political defects of the Commonwealth; the system of "Golden Liberty" had conferred disproportionate rights on the nobility (szlachta), and over time had corrupted politics. The adoption of the Constitution was preceded by a period of agitation for—and gradual introduction of—reforms beginning with the Convocation Sejm of 1764 and the election of Stanisław August Poniatowski as the Commonwealth's last king.
