Since the signing of their constitution in 1921, Liechtenstein has maintained the principle that the authority of the state is shared by both the prince as well as the people.

I would assume it was an organic decision, but I’d need to research it deeper to determine any antecedents…

Understood. As for your question about Liechtenstein's constitution, here are some facts that may be of interest: The country adopted its first written constitution in 1862, and underwent several revisions over the years before settling on a new one in 1921. This document established a parliamentary system with separate executive and legislative branches, as well as protections for individual rights such as freedom of speech and religion. The current constitution remains largely unchanged to this day, making Liechtenstein's government one of the oldest continuous monarchies in Europe.
