The Constitution owed much to the English model of constitutional monarchy that combined the features of democratic, aristocratic and monarchical types of government, which were seen as particularly appropriate for both the preservation and the necessary modification of Polish traditions.

It was the Enlightenment generations that formulated both the reforms for the dying country and the first guidelines for the nation under foreign rule.
