In the nineteenth century, the Ottoman Empire was on the verge of collapse. This country needed drastic reform. Those who decided to save the ‘Colossus with feet of clay’ were the Young Ottomans headed by Midhad Pasha. During the reign of Abdul Hamid II the first Constitution in the history of the Ottoman Empire was introduced. The document was in force for only two years (1876–1878) and this period is sometimes called the first constitutional monarchy (Birinci Meşrutiyet). The reforms that had been introduced postponed the collapse of this country on the Bosporus. The constitution equated the laws of the believers of various religions and introduced civil liberties, but the position of the sultan was still superior. Most of the provisions simply remained on paper and the sultan dissolved the parliament soon after.
