	Polysynody - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Polysynody (from Greek ÏÎ¿Î»ÏÏ numerous, several, and Greek ÏÏÎ½Î¿Î´Î¿Ï meeting, assembly) was the system of government in use in France between 1715 and 1718 and in which each minister (secretary of state) was replaced by a council.
		They advocated the creation of councils made up of aristocrats which would assist the king in the exercise of government power.
		As a result, between 1718 and 1723 the regent gradually abolished the councils despite the passionate defense of the abbot de Saint-Pierre ( Discours sur la polysynodie, 1718), and he reestablished the offices of minister and secretary of state, reverting to the "ministerial despotism" of Louis XIV.

	Louis XV of France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		During the RÃ©gence, the Regent, Philippe d'OrlÃ©ans, in search of support, favoured the nobility (aristocrats) who had been deprived of power during the reign of Louis XIV.
		He established the so-called polysynody ( September 15, 1715), which allowed the aristocracy to participate in the government.
		He concluded an alliance with Great Britain in 1717 ( Triple Alliance) in an effort to prevent Philip V of Spain from claiming the crown of France should the young Louis XV die.

	UPNE \| The Plan for Perpetual Peace, On the Government of Poland, and Other Writings on History and Politics
		These abridgements of The Plan for Perpetual Peace (published 1761), On the Government of Poland (1771–1772), and Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s other writings on history and politics represent his considerations of the practical applications of key principles developed in his best-known theoretical writings.
		In this latest volume in the classic series, Rousseau reflects on projects for a European union; the possibilities for governmental reform for France, including the polysynody experiment; international relations; and the establishment of governments for Poland and Corsica, both recently liberated from foreign oppression.
		Taken together, these works offer definitive insights into Rousseau’s decidedly nonutopian thoughts on cosmopolitanism and nationalism, and on the theory and practice of politics.
