De Onderkoning: Strijd om de Grondwet plot

On March 30, 1814, the 42-year-old William I took the oath to the first constitution of the united Netherlands, "guaranteeing a wise constitution", as he officially said. The great absentee at the official inauguration ceremony was the man who had made all this possible and who had laid the foundation for the Netherlands as a constitutional monarchy: Gijsbert Karel Van Hogendorp. The story of Karel van Hogendorp, who, as leader of the Revolt in November 1813, brought the king back to the Netherlands, wrote the first Constitution, but was subsequently set aside by him and denied his ideals, is the starting point of this dramatic documentary narration. . About how the Netherlands became one country, with one king, and one constitution.
