Amnesty, respect for religion and military discipline. Sejm in Warsaw, 1609.

The sejm was called by the king Sigismund III Vasa on 27 September 1608. The pre-sejm sejmiks were held at the end of 1608. The sejm debated from 15 January to 26 February 1609. Krzysztof Wiesiołowski was elected the marshal. During the proceedings the sejm debated over the pacification of the Zebrzydowski rokosz (1606-1609) as well as over the war in Livonia and against Muscovy. Sejm adopted many resolutions. An amnesty for rebels was successfully argued for. The other enacted resolutions were: the reform on declaration of disobedience (articulis de non praestanda oboedientia), regulations concerning the Greek Orthodox Church and military discipline (Artykuły wojenne hetmańskie - The hetman martial articles of law).
