3^rd May is the last of the three days dedicated for the event called, here in Poland as "Majówka" .

On this day Poles celebrate the adoption of the first Polish constitution, which is the first in Europe and second in the world after the constitution of Unites States. I think they are reasons to be proud and happy to celebrate it.

All of these were happening on 3^rd May 1791, when the Parliament of Polish-Lithuanian Union adopted the constitution as a "Governmental Act”. Unfortunately, this act remained in force only one year since its approval and until the Russian – Polish War.

Those who adopted the constitution wanted to reduce the differences between nobles and peasants, which since the approval of the constitution started to be under Government protection. Also, the gap between nobles and peasant according to right and privileges, by restricting the rights of nobles, and not so much by granting additional right for the peasants.

Through this constitution the Parliament intended to replace the existing anarchy with a constitutional monarchy, which could be more democratic. Unfortunately this didn’t happen.

Like two of the initiators of the constitution said , that the Constitution is "the testament left to the country” after 123 years when Poland didn’t existed on any political map, the country reborn like the Phoenix bird in 1918, when Poland proclaimed its independence. I think that the first constitution of Europe and its democratic spirit made possible this revival.

Since 1990 the 3^rd May is declared as a National holiday with the name of Constitution’s Day. This day is the National Day , as Romania celebrates every 1^st December.

With the occasion of this celebration, military parades take place in the honour of this historical day not only Polish, but for entire Europe.

I believe that for a part of the Poles, this day represent another day off along with the 1^st May and sometimes with 2^nd May, which they consider it to be a mini-vacation preferring to relax or spend time with families or friends.

Unfortunately the Romania’s constitution hasn’t a rich history as Poland’s one, so we don’t have a day to celebrate this event. Instead of it, we celebrate on 1^st December, the National Day of Romania, the Poles don’t have this specific day (the Constitution’s Day being like the National Day).

To know where we came from and where we are going it is important to remember important events which took place in the past, and to celebrate or commemorate them.

The fact that each country commemorates and celebrates the important events of the history, it is pleasing for that nation.
