Toma Vučić Perišić (Barič, 1787 - Belgrade, 1859) was a Serbian military leader during the Serbian Revolution and one of the most powerful and influential individual in Serbia of the 19th century.[1] He was Miloš Obrenović's most virulent opponent, and an ally of the Karađorđević Dynasty[2][3] [4][5] with Avram Petronijević and Ilija Garašanin and other so-called Constitutionalists (Dimitrije Davidović, Aleksa Simić, Stojan Simić, Milutin Savić).[6] He wanted to bring rule of law and an effective administrative system in the Principality of Serbia, if only foreign interference was not an issue.[7] Eventually, in the political tug-of-war, the constitutionalists period came to an abrupt end with the former absolute ruler reclaiming the throne.[8]
