Great Sejm

The Great Sejm was a major legislative session held in Poland from 1788 to 1792, during which noble representatives and officials gathered to address urgent political, military, and economic issues. Its main goals were to reform the government, strengthen the constitution, and improve the country's stability amidst threats from neighboring powers. This period saw significant reforms, including the adoption of the May Constitution of 1791, which aimed to modernize Poland's governance and reduce the influence of the nobility. The Great Sejm marked a crucial attempt to modernize Poland but ultimately faced challenges that contributed to its partitioning by neighboring countries.
