When on May 3, 1791, the Four-Year Sejm, also called the Great Sejm, adopted The Government Act of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, later known as the May 3rd Constitution, the Polish-Lithuanian state became Europe’s first and the world’s second that passed the basic law. For its time, it was a progressive and bold legal act that initiated a number of reforms. It constituted a crowning achievement of the centuries-old ties between Poland and Lithuania.

The Day of Polish Community and Poles Abroad was established in recognition of the historical contribution of diaspora communities to the national objectives of the country of their forefathers. Celebrated jointly with Polish Flag Day, it is intended to encourage Poles to reflect on the glorious pages of the country’s past.
