At that sejm Władysław Siciński used liberum veto for the first time. Fredro fortified Przemyśl in 1658-1660. He died on 15 June 1679.

Decision by majority in the Sejm is dangerous for such a big republic, because it enables the majority to ignore the interests of a particular region which has gotten into difficulty and asks the nation for help.Z. Ogonowski: ''Nad pismami A.M. Fredry w obronie liberum veto.''. In: Z. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
