general sejm
The general sejm ((ポーランド語:sejm walny), also translated as the full or ordinary sejm) was for four centuries from the 15th until the late 18th century the parliament of Kingdom of Poland, Grand Duchy of Lithuania, Ruthenia and Samogitia and after Union of Lublin common parliament of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. It had evolved from the earlier institution of ''wiec''. It was one of the primary elements of the democratic governance in the Kingdom of Poland and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The sejm was a powerful political institution, and from early 16th century, the Polish king could not pass laws without the approval of that body.
Duration and frequencies of the sejms changed over time, with the six-week sejm session convened every two years being most common. Sejm locations changed throughout history, eventually with the Commonwealth capital of Warsaw emerging as the primary location. The number of sejm deputies and senators grew over time, from about 70 senators and 50 deputies in the 15th century to about 150 senators and 200 deputies in the 18th century. Early sejms have seen mostly majority voting, but beginning in the 17th century, unanimous voting became more common, and 32 sejms were vetoed with the infamous liberum veto, particularly in the first half of the 18th century. This vetoing procedure has been credited with significantly paralyzing the Commonwealth governance.
In addition to the regular sessions of the general sejm, in the era of electable kings, beginning in 1573, three special types of sejms handled the process of the royal election in the interregnum period. It is estimated that between 1493 and 1793 sejms were held about 240 times.
==Etymology==
The word sejm and sejmik are derived from old Czech ''sejmovat'', which means "to bring together" or "to summon".〔 In English, the terms general,〔 full〔 or ordinary〔 sejm are used for the ''sejm walny''.
