The article received plenty of love in the last couple of months, it rose from
this sub-stub to its' present state as GA. I believe it is reasonably well-sourced and definitely detailed. It also received plenty of copy-editing from some native speakers. However, I'm wondering what else could be improved before I nominate it for FA status.

"The Congress of Vienna obliged Emperor Alexander I of Russia, in his role as King of Poland, to issue a constitution to the newly recreated Polish state under Russian domination. While the resulting Constitution of the Kingdom of Poland was among the most liberal constitutions in the world at the time":
Congress Poland agrees: "political autonomy guaranteed by a liberal constitution".
