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.
