January Again — Makes You Want to Head Out into the Fields at Once

Since the situation forces a return to the endless discussion of a desperate, forced uprising, January Let's try to do it with a clearly defined political goal. Historical circumstances allow an attempt to change the understanding Republic of Poland As an ethnic, national, Polish entity, on a surprisingly modern project aimed at equalizing the rights of different ethnic groups within the framework of the agreement negotiated by Citizens (equal nations, religions and languages) - Constitution.  

If you managed not to start like at school always with the Constitution of May 3...

 "It is generally accepted that the Constitution of May 3 was the first in Europe and the second in the world (after American Constitution From 1787) written constitution ( https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konstytucja_3_maja).

We should remind you of Bender's Constitution, also called the constitution of Filip Orlik 

(The Constitution of Pylyp Orlyk, the Constitution and the Constitution of the Rights and Freedoms of the Zaporizhzhia Province).

Immediately after the Battle of Poltava, in 1710 it was written in the Turkish stronghold in Tehini (Bendery) on the Dniester, also in Latin (Pacta et constitutiones legum libertatumque exercitus zaporoviensis). She determined the scope of power between the new Hetman, General Council, General Elders and General Court. And above all, it determined by law the scope of freedom, a thing not practiced in the empire of the tsars. The crown under the rule of Augustus II, bound by a personal union with the Absolutistically ruled Saxony of the Wettins, then defined its interest as compatible with the Russia of Peter I, and not the Cossacks fighting on the side of the Swedes.  

Is the political (dangerous) ideal Res publicae Free people did not find its continuation in this still marginalized and the world's first constitution written in an incomprehensible language, in a forgotten castle on the wild river, in the middle of the just disappearing freedom between European absolutism and the boundlessness of already Asian empires? 

Even Americans would have a slightly older, historical reason justifying their own commitment to the utopia of the law of one for all.
