Kajetan Sołtyk

After his father died, saddling the family with debt, Kajetan was unable to afford to return to Poland until 1740, when he attached himself to the court of bishop of Kraków Jan Lipski.

After the death of Augustus III, Kajetan Sołtyk initially opposed the election of Stanisław August Poniatowski, although later, partially due to his worsening health, Soltyk somewhat distanced himself from politics.

[2] Sołtyk was a vocal opponent of giving non-Catholics equality with Catholics, and he issued a manifest calling for prayers for preservation of the faith and national freedoms which initiated the Bar confederation.

His increasingly erratic behavior allowed his opponents, in 1781, to declare him insane by the Permanent Council and King Stanisław August.

[3] Amendment bills were submitted, but were met with opposition and filibusterer, preventing the Sejm from making much progress on any issues.
