"Discussion about the Constitution" (French: "Discussion du projet de loi sur la liberté de la presse") is an 1848 lithograph by the French artist Honoré Daumier, a prolific caricaturist and painter known for his satirical works on social and political life in 19th-century France. The lithograph is part of Daumier's extensive body of work critiquing the French government and its officials, and it was created during a period of significant political upheaval in France, which saw the rise and fall of the Second Republic.

The artwork depicts a heated debate over the freedom of the press, a contentious issue during the time when the new government was attempting to establish its constitution following the revolution of 1848. Daumier, who had been imprisoned earlier in his career for his caricature of King Louis-Philippe, was a staunch defender of press freedom and used his art to comment on the restrictions and censorship imposed by the authorities.

In "Discussion about the Constitution," Daumier employs his characteristic style of exaggerated facial expressions and body language to convey the intensity of the debate and the various interests and emotions of the participants. The lithograph is notable for its expressive figures and the way it captures the chaotic atmosphere of political discourse, reflecting the artist's critical view of the legislative process and the often tumultuous nature of democratic deliberation.

As a work of political commentary, "Discussion about the Constitution" is emblematic of Daumier's commitment to social justice and his belief in the power of visual art to influence public opinion. The lithograph remains an important historical document, offering insight into the political climate of the time and the challenges faced by those advocating for civil liberties.

Daumier's work is held in high regard for its artistic merit and historical significance, and "Discussion about the Constitution" is a prime example of his ability to blend artistry with a sharp political edge. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its contribution to the tradition of political satire and its role in the broader narrative of French art and history.
