[edit] To do/check

In the PLC:

  • could a law pass without King's support? Since when?
  • before the Nihil Novi, could King's lack of support stop the legislation entirely?
  • could the King propose the legislation himself?
  • did the Senate dignitaries had a vote in the Sejm - what was their power beside being advisors to the King? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 22:54, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Sejm

What do you think about a specific category for specific sejm sub-types (like confederated) and famous Sejm (like Silent or Contract)?--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 19:18, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

About how many articles are candidates? Anyway, sounds ok to me. Deuar 18:56, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
We have about 10 articles listed now in Sejm#See_also, and although there are only a few Sejm-types, I think eventually every Sejm office term (pl:kadencja - how is it translated into English?) is notable and deserves it's own article (and of those we may have even a hundred or more, eventually).--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 20:34, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
"term of office" i suspect, although there's no article by that name. Deuar 12:29, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Contemporary Sejm

I think the current article has far too little (relatively) about the present Sejm. The impression you get from a brief look at the article is that the most important things happened centuries ago. I would also like to suggest that the historical section be moved below discussion of the present Sejm. Deuar 12:29, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

I usually prefer for history to go before the main. But you are right that the present needs to be expanded... I am pretty sure one can find info about the present Sejm in English and online (on their pages) rather easily.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 22:27, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PRL Sejm

Just a point of clarification:

The Sejm in the People's Republic of Poland was to have 460 deputies

So did it actually have 460 members? If not how many were there. Also, did the number of members change with the years? Deuar 21:35, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Tnx for the catch, I fixed it ('had'). I have no info on the number changing.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus Talk 02:11, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Initially, Sejm consisted of 425 members. About 1960 there was simply no room for additional armchairs, so the number has been fixed (Act of December 22, 1960; effective Dec 27). Picus viridis 15:36, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Very interesting! Typical for PRL ith those armchairs ;-) Deuar 14:58, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] National Assembly

The National Assembly is not the name of the Polish Parliament: "The National Assembly (Zgromadzenie Narodowe) is the name of both chambers of the Polish parliament, the Sejm and the Senate, when sitting in joint session." Barry Kent 20:07, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sejm of the People's Republic of Poland

This paragraph is idiotic. There existed a partially free Sejm with PSL and later all Sejms were staged. As one deputy wrote (Kruczek ?) - they visited Warsaw to buy basic products.Xx236 08:46, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Basic data

How many Sejms were there in II RP, PRL, III RP? Xx236 08:50, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
