Saint Andrew's Day Assembly
The Saint Andrew's Day Assembly ( sr, Светоандрејска скупштина, Svetoandrejska skupština) was the name of a Serbian parliament which was in session from (Saint Andrew's Day) to 29 January 1859 in the Great Brewery in Belgrade, Principality of Serbia. There were a total of 432 representatives who were appointed by the Prince and were not elected. After the Ottoman Empire, the nominal suzerain of the Principality of Serbia at the time, was forced by the Concert of Europe to implement internal reforms, the then Prince of Serbia Alexander Karađorđević convened parliament due to pressure from domestic opposition. At the end of the 1850s, the monarch was very unpopular, which was exploited by two dominant political groups, the Liberals and the Defenders of the Constitution. At the session of the assembly, the groups proposed for Alexander to abdicate and to invite former Prince Miloš Obrenović Miloš, Milos, Miłosz or spelling variations thereof is a ma ...

Principality Of Serbia

Its creation was negotiated first through an unwritten agreement between Miloš Obrenović I, Prince of Serbia, Miloš Obrenović, leader of the Second Serbian Uprising, and Ottoman Empire, Ottoman official Marashli Pasha. It was followed by the series of legal documents published by the Sublime Porte in 1828, 1829 and finally, 1830—the Hatt-i Sharif.

Concert Of Europe
The Concert of Europe was a general consensus among the Great Powers of 19th-century Europe to maintain the European balance of power, political boundaries, and spheres of influence. Never a perfect unity and subject to disputes and jockeying for position and influence, the Concert was an extended period of relative peace and stability in Europe following the Wars of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars which had consumed the continent since the 1790s. There is considerable scholarly dispute over the exact nature and duration of the Concert. Some scholars argue that it fell apart nearly as soon as it began in the 1820s when the Great Powers disagreed over the handling of liberal revolts in Italy, while others argue that it lasted until the outbreak of World War I and others for points in between. For those arguing for a longer duration, there is generally agreement that the period after the Revolutions of 1848 and the Crimean War (1853-1856) represented a different phase ...

Defenders Of The Constitution
The Defenders of the Constitution ( sr, Уставобранитељи, ''Ustavobranitelji'') was a political regime that achieved power in Serbia in 1842 by overthrowing young Prince Mihailo Obrenović. History Led by Toma Vučić Perišić and later Ilija Garašanin, Serbian Ministers, calling themselves the Defenders of the Constitution, were concerned about the welfare of the Serbian people, but were also obsessed with the increasing power of the state. The acts of the Defenders of the Constitution also foreshadowed the 1848 revolution in the region, when the Hungarians demanded national rights in the Austrian Empire. The Habsburg Dual Monarchy (the Emperor of Austria was also the King of Hungary) denied these national rights to the Hungarians as well as those of other nationalities that occupied the Kingdom of Hungary. This created a war between Hungary and Serbia. As a matter of government reform, the Defenders wanted better order in their administration. However, they a ...
