In 1848 Thorbecke virtually single-handedly drafted the revision of the Constitution of the Netherlands, giving less power to the king, and more to the States-General of the Netherlands.
Thorbecke's thesis "Disputatio historico-critica inauguralis de C. Asinio Pollione" is available online: http://books.google.com/books?id=C4QUAAAAQAAJ&pg=PP5#v=onepage&q&f=true
