Polish Constitution Day celebrates Poland’s May 3, 1791 adoption of the first constitution of its type in Europe which was a milestone in Poland’s – and the world’s – legal history, as well as in the history of democracy. It was the first constitution to follow the 1788 ratification of the United States Constitution and showed notable similarities in the approach to and design of a political system.
