NEW CONSTITUTION OK THE GOVERNMENT Oi' POLAND, See. &c, ARTICLE VII Ths King, or Exccutivs sower. r T~*nE inoft perfect government cannot exill or X lalt without an effectual executive power. The happiness of the nation depends 011 jult laws, but the good clients of laws flow only from their execution. Experience has taught us, that the neglecting this eflential part of government has overwhelmed Poland with difaticrs. Having, therefore, secured to the Polish nation the right of enacting laws for themselves, tiie fuprcine infpeetion over the executive power,and the choice of their niagiitrates, we entrujt it, the King and his Council, the highejl psiver cj executing the Ijwj. This Council (hall be called Straz, or the Coun cil of InfpetKion. The duty of such execuiive power shall be to watch over the laws, and to fee them ltrittly ex ecuteJ according to their import, even by the means of public force, fhouJd it be necellary. All departments and magistracies are bound, to obey its directions. To this power we leave the right of controling such as are refractory, or of puni/hing such as are negligent in'the executi oii of their refpettive offices. This executive power pannot alluine the light of making laws, or of their interpretation. It is expressly forbidden to contract public debts ; to' alter the repai tition of the national income as fix ed by the Diet ; to declale war ; to conclude definitively any tieaty, or any diplomatic act ; it is only allowed to carry on negociaiions with fo reign Courts, and facilitate temporary occurren ces ; always with reference to the Diet. The Crown of Poland w? declare to be elec tive in regard to families, and it is fettled lb for ever. Having experienced the fatal cffetfls of inter regna, periodically subverting government, and being desirous of preventing forever all foreign influence, as well as of insuring to every citizen a perfect tranquility, we have, from prudent mo tives, resolved 16 adoi>t, hereditary fuccedion to our Throne, therefore we enact and declare,that, after the expiration of ojir life, according to the jjracious will of the Almighty, the prelent Elec tor of Saxony lhall reign over Poland. The dynasty of the future Kings of Poland lhall begin in the person of Frederick Angultus, Elector of Saxony, with the right of inheritance to the Crowrt to his male defceiidants. Tiie el dest son of the reigning King is to fucreed his father ; and in cafe the present Elec'tor of Saxony lias no male ilT'ue, a htifband choleu by him the'eonfent and approbation of the Republic) for his daughter,fhall begin the laid dynalty. Hence we declare thac'the Priricels Mary-Augufla Ne pom upena, only daughter of the Elector of Saxo ny, to be infanta of Poland. We reserve to the nation, however, the right of electing to the throne, any other houfo or fa mily, after the extinclion of the firft. Every King, on his acceilion to the throne,(hall take a solemn oath to God and the nation, tol'up port the prefenc Conllitution, to fulfil the patta conventa, which will be fettled with the present Eleflor of Saxony, as appointed to the crown, and which shall bind him in the fame manner as former ones. The King's person is sacred and inviolable ; as no a (ft can proceed immediately from, him, he cannot be in any manner refp.jnfible'to the nati on ; he is not an absolute monarch, but the fa ther, and the head of the people ; his revenues as fixed by thepatta couvtnta, shall be sacredly preserved. All public arts) the ads of inagillra eies, and the coin of the kingdom, lhall bear his name. who ought to poflefs every power of doing good, shall have the right of pardoning thole that are condemned to death, except the crimes be gainst the Stare. lii tiiue of war he (hall have the supreme com mand of the national forces—he may appoint the commanders of the army, however, by the will °f the States. It shall de his province to paten tee officers in the army, and other dignitaries, coiifjnant to the regulations hereafter to be ex preHed, to appoint Bishops, Senators and Minis ters, as members of the executive power. { To be continued.)
