Summary/Abstract: The book Could Revolution Be Legal? by Anna Grześkowiak-Krwawicz concerns various aspects of how the Constitution of 3rd May 1791 was established and overthrown. It raises, among others, the question whether the act of passing the Constitution was a revolution for contemporary people and why it was understood as treason by some people, especially from Republican milieus. A lot of attention was paid by the Author to the issue of perception of the Constitution in Poland and abroad as well as to the rise of the myth of 3rd May 1791.
