Book Synopsis The Constitution of 3 May 1791 by : Richard Butterwick
Download or read book The Constitution of 3 May 1791 written by Richard Butterwick and published by Muzeum Historii Polski. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book by an eminent researcher of the history of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth familiarises the readers with the most important events of the epoch, analyses the circumstances of passing the Law on Government in May 1791, as well as the document itself. The Constitution of 3 May did not mark the final stage of the process of the fall of the Great Commonwealth. First and foremost, it was an attempt at salvaging the country and renewing it through reforms, which thanks to their boldness and modernity could have turned united Poland and Lithuania into a power. It was only in one aspect that the Constitution could have accelerated the final partition of the Commonwealth: i.e. strengthening the country posed a threat to the partitioners, primarily Russia. This is one of the premises that emerges from the concise but richly detailed book by Richard Butterwick, Professor of History at the University of London awarded a PhD title by the University of Oxford, a scholar specialising in 18th-century Polish history.

Book Synopsis The Polish Revolution and the Catholic Church, 1788-1792 by : Richard Butterwick

This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Polish Revolution cast off the Russian hegemony that had kept the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth impotent for most of the eighteenth century. Before being overthrown by the armies of Catherine the Great, the Four Years' Parliament of 1788-92 passed wide-ranging reforms, culminating in Europe's first written constitution on 3 May 1791. In some respects its policies towards the Catholic Church of both rites (Latin and Ruthenian) were more radical than those of Joseph II, and comparable to some of those adopted in the early stages of the French Revolution. Policies included taxation of the Catholic clergy at more than double the rate of the lay nobility, the confiscation of episcopal estates, the equalization of dioceses, and controversial concessions to Orthodoxy. But the monastic clergy escaped almost unscathed. A method of explaining political decisions in a republican polity is developed in order to show how and why the Commonwealth went to the verge of schism with Rome in 1789-90, before drawing back. Pope Pius VI could then bless the 'mild revolution' of 3 May 1791, which Poland's clergy and monarch presented to the nobility as a miracle of Divine Providence. The stresses would be eclipsed by dechristianization in France, the dismemberment of the Commonwealth, and subsequent incarnations of unity between the Catholic Church and the Polish nation. Probing both 'high politics' and political culture', Richard Butterwick draws on diplomatic and political correspondence, speeches, pamphlets, sermons, pastoral letters, proclamations, records of local assemblies, and other sources to explore a volatile relationship between altar, throne, and nobility at the end of Europe's Ancien Régime.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume of the edition presents exceptional documents from the early period of European constitutionalism with the constitution of May 3rd, 1971 from the closing phase of the Polish Aristocratic Republic, and the Grodno constitution of 1793. It incorporates the constitutional texts of the Napoleonic epoch, such as those concerning the duchy of Warsaw of 1807 and of the period in which Poland ceased to exist as a sovereign state (the so-called Constitution of 1815, the 1825 amendment, and the "organic statute" of 1832). Among the most interesting and hitherto almost unknown constitutional projects of Galicia, which belonged to the Habsburg Monarchy following the partition of Poland in 1772, are the Magna Charta / Charta Leopoldina (1790) and two versions of the Lemberg Petition (1848). Documents pertaining to constitutions of the Free City of Krakow, also known as the Republic of Krakow, (including constitutions from 1815, 1818 and 1833 with amendments) have also been edited. In keeping with the publication series' editing principles, this volume contains a total of 21 documents in all the original languages in which they were published at the time, including Polish, French, German, Latin, Russian and old Ukrainian. The texts have been edited and annotated by the law historian, Anna Tarnowska, Nicolaus Copernicus University, Torun.

Book Synopsis The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, 1733-1795 by : Richard Butterwick
Download or read book The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, 1733-1795 written by Richard Butterwick and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021-01-05 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major new assessment of the "vanished kingdom" of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth--one which recognizes its achievements before its destruction Richard Butterwick tells the compelling story of the last decades of one of Europe's largest and least understood polities: the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Drawing on the latest research, Butterwick vividly portrays the turbulence the Commonwealth experienced. Far from seeing it as a failed state, he shows the ways in which it overcame the stranglehold of Russia and briefly regained its sovereignty, the crowning success of which took place on 3 May 1791--the passing of the first Constitution of modern Europe.
