The Constitution
The first Greek Constitution of 1844
The Constitution established the hereditary Constitutional Monarchy, with the Monarch being the Head of the State. The Monarch was characterized as sacred and inviolate. It also assigned the three powers as follows: The Ministers, who would be both appointed and dismissed by the Monarch, would exercise the executive power, the Parliament along with the Senate would exercise the legislative power and the Courts would exercise the judicial power. Finally, the Constitution established the principle of the separation of powers and the Ministers’ responsibility for the acts of the Monarch.
