ENThe general dietine (sejmik) of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania became a non-functioning body in the first half of the 17th century. That is why organizing an assembly in Słonim in 1685 by Lithuanians made a great impression all over the country. Its success was possible thanks to the combined influences of the Sapieha and the Radziwiłł families, who united against the king for a short period of time. This initiative was triggered by the decision of the king and the Senate council on moving the 1685 sejm from Grodno to Warsaw, which caused protests of Lithuanians. As a result, it was easier to stir turmoil against the policy of the court among them. The citizens of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania who gathered in Słonim sent a few representatives to the sejm in Warsaw to block the election of the marshal. At the same time the majority of the participants of the Słonim assembly went to Grodno as the rightful place of the sejm. It was only after a few weeks of negotiations that the king managed to convince Lithuanians to agree to come to Warsaw. However, they managed to accomplish their aim of demonstrating their dissatisfaction and hampered the celebration of the Vienna victory, which was supposed to strengthen the king’s authority. During the assembly a new constitution was passed, securing the sejm in Grodno. However, the events of 1685 did not have much influence on the very institution of the Lithuanian general sejmik, which continued to be a non-functioning body in the subsequent years.
