This document records the act of confederation formed at the Convocation Sejm in May 1764, during the interregnum following the death of Augustus III of Saxony. The Czartoryski faction (Familia) formed the General Confederation of the Crown and Lithuania at that time, seeking political reforms and preparing for the election of Stanis\u0142aw Antoni Poniatowski. The Sejm restricted the use of the liberum veto in fiscal and military matters, introduced a uniform general customs duty, and established the Treasury and Military Commissions.
