There has been two constitutions.First 1876-1878, sultan closed the Parliament using Otto-Rus War at that time. Second in 1908. The first was formed by sultan to satisfy the European reform and Turkish intellectual demands, the second was force-formed by Turkish intellectuals called 'Ittihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti'.

The goals are easy to find out. The Muslim population in Ottoman Empire which these people belonged were mostly uneducated. Literacy was 3%. The empire was falling. All the trade belonged to foreign merchants. They wanted to resurrect empire by industrializing and education of Muslim part of Ottoman Empire.

What they did build a base for Republic of Turkey, without what was done during these constitutions there was no chance to enact the reforms during first years of Turkish Republic.
