Abrogation of Privileges and Prince’s Suspension Power
The text explains that privileges granted for public welfare may be abrogated if they harm public safety or exceed measures. The Prince may suspend public laws and promises if they become unreasonable and public safety requires it. It cites Philip II’s entry in 1549 and discussions by commissaries on authority, noting the clause about observance of articles and viewing the privilege as non observables toward foreigners. It concludes with Brabant’s civilian viewpoint on a Brabant subject near running out of Brabant and thus unworthy of privileges.
