Polish president marks May 3 Constitution Day

Andrzej Duda, the Polish president, on Tuesday, paid tribute to Poland's Constitution of 3 May 1791, one of the most progressive supreme laws in Europe at the time. The constitution was passed on May 3, 1791, by the Great Sejm (grand parliament) of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and was Europe's first document of its kind, predating the famous French Constitution and following the American one by only four years.
