The Ottoman Constitution was signed by Sultan Abdul Hamid II on 13 December 1876 after strenuous debates, with multiple language versions apparently released simultaneously.

After strenuous debates, a constitution acceptable to all sides was established and signed by Abdul Hamid II on the morning of 13 December 1876. According to Strauss, the authorities had apparently prepared multiple language versions of the constitution at the same time prior to release, with a publication year of 1876. The promulgation announcement of 23 December 1876 followed the signing, and the constitution's publication was recorded at the imperial press in Constantinople in 1876 (Ottoman year 1292).
