Violations of order and law during the sessions of the regional assemblies of the nobility of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania in religious places in the 17th and 18th centuries

Description:
In the 17th and 18th centuries, the Lithuanian regional assemblies of the nobility (Polish: sejmik) were the scene of numerous disputes. The personal and political involvement of the participants of the sessions frequently led to arguments, fights, and even murders. The nobility, bribed by the magnates, took part in the incidents in especially large numbers. Such undesired occurrences were often directly related to the drunkenness of the participants of the meetings. Even the places of religious worship did not stop them from committing crimes. Tributes were imposed on the local nobility in order to compensate the clergy for the destruction of churches and monasteries. The regional deputy assemblies of the nobility (where judges of the Tribunal of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania were elected) were particularly susceptible to violations of law and order were and this fact resulted in the delegation of double judicial benches to the tribunal sessions. The constitutions passed by the Sejm could not significantly improve the situation.;
Litewskie sejmiki szlacheckie pozostawały w XVII i XVIII w. areną licznych sporów. Osobiste i polityczne zaangażowanie uczestników obrad niejednokrotnie prowadziło do kłótni, bójek, a nawet zabójstw. W zajściach szczególnie licznie uczestniczyła szlachta przekupiona przez magnatów. Niepożądane zjawiska często pozostawały w bezpośrednim związku z pijaństwem obradujących. Od popełniania przestępstw nie powstrzymywały ich nawet miejsca kultu religijnego. By wynagrodzić duchownym zniszczenia kościołów i klasztorów, obciążano lokalną szlachtę daninami. Szczególnie podatne na naruszenia porządku i prawa były sejmiki deputackie (na których dokonywano wyboru sędziów Trybunału Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego), czego rezultatem było delegowanie na sesje trybunalskie podwójnych składów sędziowskich. Sytuacji nie były w stanie znacząco poprawić uchwalane przez Sejm konstytucje.
