Corsican Constitution

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Corsican Constitution of the short-lived Corsican republic was established in 1755 and in force until the annexation of Corsica by France in 1769.

Drafted by, amongst others, Pasquale Paoli the Corsican Constitution is the first codified national constitution of an independent republic in the modern age. Although it is relatively unknown compared to United States Constitution of 1787 and Polish Constitution of 3rd May of 1791 it precedes all of them and was the forerunner of modern democracy founded on Enlightenment principles.

The Corsican Constitution introduced democracy to Corsica and a liberal political system; this was unique in Europe at that time. It also, for the first time in the history, gave women the vote.
