The Belgian Constitution of 1831 which resulted from the independence proclaimed the year before, was not the first written constitution which governed the Belgian people. Apart from different provincial constitutional regimes under the Ancien Régime, which sometimes included constitutional acts, the Belgians were governed by the successive French constitutions while the Belgian territories were annexed to France between 1795 and 1814/1815, viz. the constitutions of the Directoire, the Consulate, and the Empire. From 1815 until 1830, Belgium formed a united kingdom with the Netherlands. The 1815 Dutch-Belgian Constitution was itself the result of the different constitutional regimes which had been applicable in the Batavian Republic, the Kingdom of Holland, during the French annexation, and of the Constitution adopted in 1814 when the Netherlands were liberated from the French rule. This rapid and complex succession of different constitutions in the space of 35 years under foreign rule, and the constitutional practice during the 1815-1830 period, were part of the references (apart from references to other models, such as the American, British and post-Napoleonic French constitutions) which shaped the views of the Belgian Constituent in 1830-1831.
