Poland and Sweden Treaty Proposals in 1702 Debate

The piece argues for a treaty between Poland and Sweden involving Poland’s kingship, Livonia, and future conduct. It discusses accountability of the Polish king to the republic, renewal of the Treaty of Oliva, and Poland’s obligation to declare war against Muscovy to aid Sweden. It notes perceived French influence and questions whether Sweden seeks further conquests, urging ratification of the terms as favorable to Poland and the northern balance of power.
