Polish President commemorates May 3 Constitution

"Our forefathers knew how to read the times in which Europe found itself, although they had so little time for reforms", President Bronislaw Komorowski said in his address at Thursday's May 3rd Constitution anniversary celebrations on Warsaw's Zamkowy Square. Komorowski said that the May 3 Constitution, which introduced reforms aimed at leading Poland to modern statehood, was the first of its kind in Europe and the second in the world after the American Constitution of 1787.
