The Pillersdorf Constitution (German: Pillersdorfsche Verfassung) was a constitution of the Austrian Empire that was promulgated by Minister of the Interior Baron Pillersdorf on 25 April 1848.[1] It called for public, oral, and jury trials.
It only lasted until 16 May when it was replaced for a call for a constitutional convention and completely withdrawn in July when the Kremsier Parliament was elected. The Kremsier Parliament created the Kremsier Constitution, which was preempted by the imposed March Constitution between 4 March and 7 March 1849 after which the Kremsier Parliament was dissolved. The March Constitution was revoked by the New Year's Eve Patent (Silvesterpatent) of Emperor Franz Joseph I on 31 December 1851.[1][2]
