EVENT DESCRIPTION

This day commemorates the decree of the Constitution of the kingdom of Tonga in November 1875. The kingdom of Tonga is a small Polynesian state that occupies the archipelago of the same name. It is one of the few countries that has never lost its sovereignty to a foreign power, that is why its national holiday is dedicated to the adoption of the constitution rather than to the country's independence.
