Powers of Electors of Holy Roman Empire in the Golden Bull
The text discusses the Electors within the Holy Roman Empire, detailing their powers to appoint and depose emperors, grant or deny consent for wars and diets, and their exclusive privileges. It notes the Emperor's limited role without Elector consent and mentions privileges, duties, and the potential for amnesty and internal disputes among electors. It also references a charitable event in Crow-street and a colonial journal from July 1741 describing travel, sailing, and provisioning actions near Brazil and Patagonia.
