Short description of research profile

The recent project aims to verify the research thesis whether and why the constitution of the Kingdom of Poland of 1815 should be deemed a formative factor of Polish political liberalism at the time of its birth. I have adopted the assumption, that the earlier stages of the development of Polish thought were of “protoliberal” nature, while the concept of “liberalism” did not begin to emerge until 1815.
