		As mentioned elsewhere, this Seym had the task of arranging for the election of the next chief executive and of drawing up the "Pacta Conventa," or the "Articles of Agreement" between the candidate and the electorate.
		The first Pacta Conventa were drawn up for the election eventually won by Henri Valois, and hence the articles of agreement presented to him became known as the "Henrician Articles." In essence they formed a Bill of Rights.

		The candidates must let their gold glitter, and give splendid entertainments, which must be carried into debauch: the nobility are captivated, with the attractions of magnificence and Hungarian wine, and infallibly declare in favour of the candidate who causes it to flow in the greatest profusion.
		When the candidate has gained all the suffrages, he is declared king, and sworn to observe the Pacta Conventa, and the laws, and then crowned.
		The Poles are polite and friendly, but magnificence is the foible of the nobility, and they sacrifice all things to luxury: as they seldom see any person superior to them in their own country, and treat their inferiors with an air of absolute authority, they live in all the splendor of princes.
