Yeah the Dutch constitution was written in 1848, which turned the Netherlands from an absolute monarchy to a constitutional monarchy which is more or less still the system we have today. Some changes we're made later (such as women's voting rights), but effectively the same democratic system is still in place: parlementary elections with a government chosen and controlled by the parlement. The king is really just a figurehead since that day. So in the Netherlands the 1848 revolution was definitely a success, however it was also not really a revolution, since the king willingly stepped down. Although how willing that was and how much he was blackmailed and threatend is something that a lot of people speculate about.
