Polish Democratic Society

Polish Democratic Society

Polish Democratic Society ( _pl. Towarzystwo Demokratyczne Polskie) was one of the most important organizations of Polish Great Emigration in 19th century France. Formed in 1832 from a faction of the Polish National Committee and led by Tadeusz Krępowiecki and Aleksander Pułaski, it argued for the need of drastic reforms in reconstituted Poland. Its notable activists included Stanisław Worcell and Ludwik Mierosławski. It supported the ideas of Polish uprising and was eventually disbanded in 1862.
