This book is an examination of why and how the elective principle,
already established in Transylvanian and Polish political culture
in the late medieval period, was transformed in the early elections
of the 1570s. In this period, the two polities adopted
constitutional arrangements different in depth and scope but based
on the same fundamental principles: elective thrones,
state-sanctioned religious pluralism, and constitutional guarantees
for the right of disobedience. There were important variations in
their regulation and application, but Transylvania and the newly
created Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth had one essential thing in
common: they were the only two polities in early modern Europe
whose political systems secured the succession of their rulers
through large-scale elections in which the dynastic principle,
although still important, was not binding.
