After the revolt of 1909 in Goudi, the "Military Society" invited Eleftherios Venizelos to participate actively in the politics of Hellas. A fundamental element of Venizelos' policy at that time was the revision of the Constitution, a proposal that was accepted by the King, the Military Society and the rest of the political parties.

The revision of 1911 was proposed as a solution to the political crisis, even though it did not aim at the transformation of the regime or its organization. The main mission of the constitution was to safeguarde the individual rights and the introduction of new patterns in state administration.

The articles of the revised constitution of 1911 tried to support and protect the individual liberties, the individual property, the freedom of the press with the provision of more legal guarantees against the state arbitrariness; to establish an obligatory free elementary education; to establish the permanence of the civil servants.
