Henrician Articles
The Henrician Articles were a set of constitutional principles adopted in 1573 and sworn by each newly elected king of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, named after the first elected king, Henry of Valois. They guaranteed free royal election, regular sessions of the Sejm, religious toleration and the nobility's right to resist a king who broke them. They were a cornerstone of the Commonwealth's governance.
