Shaping the Congress Kingdom of Poland (1815–1830)
The Interconnectivity of Constitutional and Liberal Ideas in Europe after Napoleon
Series: - Legal History Library, Volume: 79
Should the dispute over the interpretation of the 1815 constitution of Congress Poland be considered a key factor that shaped Polish political liberalism, and if so, why? The authors of this volume explore this question against the backdrop of constitutional development in post-Napoleonic Europe. The aim of this book is to illustrate the mutual interdependence between political liberalism and constitutionalism after the Congress of Vienna and to examine how Western European constitutional and liberal ideas intermingled with traditional Polish aristocratic republicanism.
