Sicilian Constitution of 1848

The Sicilian Constitution of 1848 was the constitution adopted during the Sicilian revolution of 1848 by the newly proclaimed Kingdom of Sicily.

Inspired by the English constitution, it was considered a very liberal constitution for its time, however its duration was short. The constitution's effect ended with the reconquering of Sicily by the army of Ferdinand II of the Two Sicilies in May 1849.
