Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the first modern European Constitution, an important political and legal document, representing one of the three crucial legal documents of the 18th century (next to the American Constitution, passed just four years before it, in 1787, and the Constitution of the revolutionary France, passed several months after it, in September of 1791.) It considers in detail the international constellation and the internal circumstances in Poland at that time, the Constitution passed in May, 1791, and the causes of the divisions in Poland, certainly the most tragic developments in the history of this country. The first ever translation of the Constitution into Serbian has been attached to this work.
