With the blessing of [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] [[Falco IV Sentinelleau]], the [[45 Men]] of [[Collinebourg]] set about drafting a constitution for [[Yonderre]] in 1831 similar to the [[Urcea|Urcean]] [[Concession of 1747]] and [[Great Bull of 1811]]. The final product, the [[Constitution of Yonderre]], was signed into power on June 10, 1833. The Constitution defined [[Yonderre]] as a constitutional monarchy, governed through a parliamentary system with executive powers wielded by the Grand Duke. It created separations of power between the [[Yonderian Parliament]], which enact laws, the government, which implements them, and the courts, which makes judgment about them. It also granted some fundamental rights to citizens of Yonderre including freedom of association and freedom of assembly. Most importantly, the Consitution did away with distinctions of Gothic and Bergendii citizens, instead referring directly to Yonderians. | With the blessing of [[Grand Duke of Yonderre]] [[Falco IV Sentinelleau]], the [[45 Men]] of [[Collinebourg]] set about drafting a constitution for [[Yonderre]] in 1831 similar to the [[Urcea|Urcean]] [[Concession of 1747]] and [[Great Bull of 1811]].

The Yonderian Golden Age saw several major scientific advances made by Yonderian scientists. In 1865, physicist [[Rachet d'Everard (physicist)|Rachet d'Everard]] observed that electric currents induce magnetic fields, an important aspect of electromagnetism. Chemist [[Eberhard Sass]]' work with metallurgical alloys in the early 1820s produced the world's first near-pure aluminium in 1825. Existentialist philosopher and theologian [[Hieronymus von Kähler]]'s work deals with the issues of how one lives, focusing on the priority of concrete human reality over abstract thinking and highlighting the importance of personal choice and commitment, ideas that continue to shape and influence modern philosophy. Paleontologist [[Killian Lange]] described the fossilized remains of the first theropod dinosaur ''[[Vollardisaurus]]'' in 1842, sparking a renewed academic interest in paleontology. Lange's prodigy, [[Thibault d'Avignon]], would go on to describe over a hundred extinct species during the latter half of the nineteenth century, including infamous species like ''[[Joanusaurus]]'' and ''{{wpl|Stegosaurus}}'' from the [[Greater Levantine Formation]]. | The Yonderian Golden Age saw several major scientific advances made by Yonderian scientists.
