This is an automatically translated description

The highlight of this book is the functioning of noble parliamentarism. The broad rights of the nobility concentrated the functions of local sejmic self-government. In the middle of the sixteenth century, about 8% of the population of Ukraine participated in the noble parliamentary activity. The noble knightly traditions of the lords also extended to the Ukrainian Rzeczpospolita. In the Hetmanate, there is a gradual genesis of council-based parliamentary institutions - the councils of elders are transformed into the Duma and the Sejm. The book is a guide to ancient law and public administration in Ukraine, and thus is a reference book in the field of state and law. The purpose of the book is to fill a gap in Ukrainian scholarship.
