Ludwik Szymon Gutakowski of the Gutak coat of arms (28 October 1738 - 1 December 1811 in Warsaw) was the second Prime Minister of Poland, and the President of the Council of State and of the Cabinet.
He was educated at the Collegium Nobilium in Warsaw, an elite boarding school. He was a chamberlain to both August III and to Stanislaw August Poniatowski because his family had supported the latterking's election, but this was only an honorary position. In the 1770s, he participated in diplomatic excursion to Saint Petersburg and to London. In 1778, he became a member of the Permanent Council and in the following year briefly stood in for Ignacy Potocki as the Marshal when he was unavailable. He was an envoy at the Four-Year Sejm, at which he supported the Constitution of 3 May. Later, however, he participated in the Russian-led Confederation of Targowica, which was opposed to the Constitution. As part of the anti-Russian Kościuszko Uprising, he was a member of the Supreme National Council. In November 1806, he was chosen to greet Joachim Murat upon his arrival in Warsaw.
With Teresa Sobolewska, he had one son, Wacław Gutakowski, born 7 March 1790, an adjutant of Aleksandr I, and through his marriage to Józefa Grudzińska, sister of Joanna Grudzińska, the brother-in-law of his brother the Grand Duke Constantine Pavlovich.
In 1780, he was given the Order of St. Stanislaus.

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.
