Announcement of the March Constitution
- When
- 4 March 1849
- Where
- Hungary (legal effect)
Following the victory, the March Constitution was announced, abolishing the Hungarian constitution and citing the perceived destruction of the Hungarian army.
Windisch-Grätz's report created a delusion in Vienna that the Hungarian army was scattered and in disorderly flight. This led to the announcement of the March Constitution on 4 March 1849, which abolished Hungarian rights recognized since 1222. The passages do not state where the announcement took place.
