The Nineteen Articles (simplified Chinese: 十九信条; traditional Chinese: 十九信條), officially the Nineteen Major Articles of Good Faith on the Constitution (simplified Chinese: 宪法重大信条十九条; traditional Chinese: 憲法重大信條十九條), also known as the Doctrine of Nineteen Articles and 19 Fundamental Articles, was a constitutional document, and the only constitution of the late Qing dynasty, which was promulgated by the Qing government on 3 November 1911.

The purpose of Nineteen Articles was to establish a British-style system of ministerial responsibility, and reconstitute the Qing government as a constitutional monarchy. These articles restrained the power of the emperor and expanded the power of the congress. However, after only 3 months (February 1912) the monarchy was abolished following the end of the Xinhai Revolution.
