ABSTRACT:
This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the three revolutionary constitutions of Greece: Epidaurus (1822), Astros (1823), and Troizina (1827). The study explores the influence of Enlightenment ideas and foreign constitutions on these foundational documents, highlighting their role in shaping the political, social, and legal framework of the newly established Greek state. Key differences in legislative procedures, emphasis on individual versus civil rights, and the evolution from provisional governance to a more structured state are examined. The paper also considers the potential application of economocracy and the cycle of money as innovative economic tools in the context of 19th-century Greece, illustrating how these concepts could have addressed the economic challenges of the era.

KEY WORDS: revolutionary constitutions, Epidaurus, Astros, Troizina, Greek independence, enlightenment, economocracy, cycle of money, constitutional history.
