Parliament of the Kingdom of Poland​

The Parliament of the Kingdom of Poland, restored and reimagined following the re-establishment of the monarchy, serves as the formal legislative and consultative institution within a system where His Majesty King Stanislaus Grabowski retains absolute executive authority. While the King holds final decision-making power, the Parliament plays a crucial advisory and legislative-support role, embodying the Kingdom’s commitment to constitutional tradition, unity, and evolving democratic values.

​

Bicameral Structure​

The Parliament consists of two chambers:

1. The Sejm (Lower House)​

• Members: 460 deputies
• Elected every 4 years via proportional representation
• Primary Functions:
  • Drafts, debates, and proposes legislation
  • Advises the Crown on domestic and fiscal policy
  • Oversees ministerial departments and budget execution
  • Represents the voice of the Polish populace

Though the Sejm lacks the power to override royal decrees, it influences governance through policy recommendations, public debates, and coalition-building.

2. The Senate (Upper House)​

• Members: 100 senators
• Appointed through a hybrid method:
  • 100 elected regionally
• Primary Functions:
  • Reviews and refines legislation passed by the Sejm
  • Acts as the moral and constitutional conscience of the realm
  • Provides expert consultation on matters of law, national defense, and foreign affairs

The Senate acts as the King's deliberative chamber, advising on the long-term direction of the realm while preserving historical continuity and national identity.

Royal Authority and Parliamentary Interaction​

Though the King holds supreme power, Parliament represents a crucial bridge between Crown and people. His Majesty may:

• Propose legislation directly to Parliament
• Veto any act passed by either chamber
• Appoint ministers and senators
• Dissolve Parliament with cause
• Address Parliament annually on the State of the Realm

This model reflects a “monarchy in dialogue”, where the Crown governs but listens, upholding a philosophy of enlightened absolutism in a modern world.

Parliamentary Culture in 2006​

In 2006, Poland’s Parliament is shaped by a mix of:

• Progressive reformists, advocating modern infrastructure, education, and digital policy
• Conservative monarchists, defending tradition, family values, and Church unity
• Centrists and technocrats, focused on industrial growth and national defense
• Regionalists and minorities, representing Poland’s ethnic and cultural diversity

Political debate is spirited but respectful, guided by the unifying authority of the King, whose interventions serve to maintain balance and national harmony.

3. Senate Review – legal refinement and expert consultation

Role in National Identity​

The Parliament of the Kingdom of Poland is not only a legislative body—it is a symbol of constitutional continuity and national rebirth. Rooted in the traditions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth yet adapted to the needs of a 21st-century power, it plays a vital role in:

• Ensuring representation and political participation
• Balancing modern governance with royal tradition
• Promoting unity, debate, and civic responsibility

---

Motto of Parliament:​

"In service to the Crown, in dialogue with the People."

The Sejm of the Kingdom of Poland​

​

In 2006, the Sejm of the Kingdom of Poland functions as the unicameral legislative chamber under the authority of His Majesty King Stanislaus Grabowski, sovereign of the restored Polish monarchy. As an institution, the Sejm balances the monarch’s absolute authority with the aspirations of a modernizing society, providing a formal space for political debate, legislative consultation, and representative participation.

---

Institutional Role​

The Sejm consists of 460 members, elected every four years via proportional representation. Though the King holds supreme legislative and executive power, the Sejm acts as a royally-endorsed parliamentary forum, shaping public policy, reviewing laws, and advising the Crown on domestic and international issues.


While it does not exercise the authority to override royal decrees, the Sejm plays a key role in:

• Discussing royal initiatives and national policy
• Advising on budgetary and taxation measures
• Overseeing ministries and royal appointees
• Proposing legislation for royal approval
• Voicing the electorate’s interests across provinces

This arrangement preserves the Crown’s supremacy while introducing deliberative democratic norms within a monarchical framework.
