The text provides a brief and general approach
to the formation history of Luxembourg,
emphasizing the constitutional landscape of
the country, presented in three sections. The
first one highlights the historical and formal
events that lead to modern Luxembourg. In
the second, the more important constitutional
moments in the XIX century are exposed, with
commentaries regarding the Constitutions of
1841, 1848, 1856, and 1868. In the third, the
political and constitutional reforms of the
XX century, considering the I and II World
Wars, are commented upon, with the intention
to expose some of the main characteristics
of the Grand-Duché, such as its openness
to the international sphere, constitutional
actions for the integration of Europe, and
the main normative diploma that shows the
compromise with Human and Fundamental
rights, considering specific dynamics of the
relations of the powers of the state.
