 | | Coat of Arms of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was the symbol of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, representing the union of the Kingdom of Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania. | | | While the Commonwealth's first century was a golden age for both Poland and Lithuania, the second century was marked by military defeats, a return to serfdom for the peasants, and growing anarchy in political life. | | | The Commonwealth was notable for its political system, which was a precursor to modern democracy and federation; for its remarkable religious tolerance; and for the second-oldest codified national constitution in the world. |
