Constitutional history of Greece
In the modern history of Greece, starting from the Greek War of Independence, the Constitution of 1975/1986/2001 is the last in a series of democratically adopted Constitutions (with the exception of the Constitutions of 1968 and 1973 imposed by a dictatorship).
Greek War of Independence
[edit]Main article: First Hellenic Republic
During the Greek War of Independence, three constitutional texts (Constitutions of 1822, 1823 and 1827) were adopted by the Greek National Assemblies, the national representative political gatherings of the Greek revolutionaries. These constitutions were influenced by:

Election to the Throne of Greece (1822–1832)
Election of a monarch for newly independent Greece
The search for a candidate for the throne of Greece began soon after the start of the Greek War of Independence against the Ottoman Empire (1821–1829) and concluded two years after the international recognition of the country's independence in 1830, and was a pivotal moment in Greek history. The conflict was significantly shaped by the involvement of major European powers, namely the United Kingdom, Russia, and France, as well as internecine Greek conflicts during and after the War of Independence.
From the outset of the Greek War of Independence, the leaders of the rebellion recognized that the major European powers, collectively known as the "Conservative Order" that emerged from the Congress of Vienna, would acknowledge only Greece's independence if it adopted a monarchical form of government. Consequently, the Greeks endeavored to identify a foreign prince who would be amenable to assuming governance of their nation, a prospect that piqued the interest of several ambitious contenders. However, the discord among the powers and the insurgents' precarious position against the Ottoman forces made the election impossible for an extended period.
