On November 17th, Speaker of the House Stanisław Małachowski kicked off the day's session with some thoughtful musings on human endeavors.

Right off the bat, Representative Jan Suchorzewski from the State of Kalisz vehemently argued for the adoption of a more systemized and humane approach to military conscription, supported by Canton systems. He recounted some distressing events related to the overly aggressive and disorderly drafting of citizens, even presenting a personal letter from his brother describing such violence.

In a push for fiscal responsibility, Representative Kazimierz Wężyk-Rudzki pointed out the need for a substantial army financing scheme, while Senator Franciszek Żeleński critiqued the drawn-out nature of parliamentary debates and called for more effective legislation.

Advocates from West Poland—led by Antoni Rożnowski—rallied for the Canton project, making a case for structure and order in the way the nation's military forces are raised and maintained.

Meanwhile, the Lithuanian-Belarussian side, with Prince Kazimierz Sapieha as marshal of their confederation, demanded priority for their province's proposal concerning district commissions, which aimed at local governance and civic peace. This request garnered a substantial backing.

As the discussion evolved, several proposals were considered, including setting up local supply depots for the military—essentially, storerooms mediating the logistical pressure on communities from military needs.

Team Lithuania-Belarus, led by Prince Kazimierz Sapieha and Prince Adam Czartoryski, sought to alleviate fears by promising not to exempt themselves from contributing to the supply depots.

The President Stanisław August Poniatowski himself stepped into the fray, suggesting that the swift adoption of Lithuania-Belarus’s Commission Project could serve as a blueprint for similar legislative solutions in Poland-Ukraine.

A consensus was eventually reached: the Lithuania-Belarus Commission Project received unconditional approval, symbolizing a significant step towards ensuring civil peace and internal structure.

The day's session concluded with the Speaker Stanisław Małachowski hinting at a tinge of envy towards his colleague's success but ultimately expressing a shared sense of triumph and unity.

Following the session's closure, the President warmly endorsed the achievements of the day and representatives were reminded to continue their diligent work towards a shared prosperity.
