The Reciprocal Guarantee of Two Nations (Polish: Zaręczenie Wzajemne Obojga Narodów[1][2]), also Reciprocal Warranty of Two Nations,[3] Mutual Pledge of the Two Nations[4][5][6] and Mutual Assurance of the Two Nations,[7] was an addendum, adopted on 20 October 1791 by the Great Sejm, to the Polish-Lithuanian Constitution of 3 May 1791.[8] In the preamble of this guarantee the dualistic form of the state was confirmed and it had equal status to the Union of Lublin (1569).[8]
The Mutual Assurance of the Two Nations stated implementing principles that had not been spelled out in the Constitution. The document specified the nature of the Polish–Lithuanian union and affirmed "the unity and indivisibility", within a single state, of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania.[8]
