The Great Sejm was a significant legislative assembly in the history of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, convened from 1788 to 1792. It aimed to address various political and social issues, including the need for reforms to strengthen the state and improve governance. The assembly is known for its efforts to modernize the Commonwealth and respond to external threats. One of the most notable outcomes of the Great Sejm was the adoption of the Constitution of May 3, 1791, which is considered one of the first modern constitutions in Europe. This constitution aimed to establish a more centralized government and protect the rights of citizens, reflecting Enlightenment ideals. However, the reforms faced opposition and ultimately led to the partitioning of the Commonwealth by neighboring powers.
