[edit]Section 3 of this Act inspired the Belgian constitution-makers of 1830-31 when they wrote article 79 of the 1831 Belgian Constitution, now article 90 of the 1993 Constitution:
- "Upon the death of the King, the Houses meet without being convened at the latest on the tenth day after his death. If the Houses have been dissolved previously, and if the act of dissolution convenes them to meet later than the tenth day following the King’s death, the members of the former Houses take up their seats again until the meeting of those who will replace them."
