Sejm court

The sejm court was used as a means to "judge crimes against the nation and the king.

However, Opaliński notes that the Sejm court was permitted to act "only in the course of parliamentary debates; after they ended, its activity ceased.

"[2] The court sat in cases of impeachment – in the words of the May 3 Constitution of 1791 (article VIII: the judicial authority) – of government "ministers [...] charged with breach of law by a deputation designated to examine their deeds [...]."
