What happens
King Aleksandras II was clearing up things in the Ukraine in 1652 when he was brought the news of the introduction of the Liberum Veto in Poland. A week later he got the news that 'his' Sejm had voted for the same rights. By carefully reading of reports he found that certain Lithuanian Magnates had nearly doubled the size of the Lithuanian Szlachta by swapping lands with Poles. Frustrated the king declared the law illegitimate. The king had the support of those who were not nobles, but his troubles would live on as long as the Liberum Veto existed in Poland. In a famous address he declared himself allied with the Polish people and at war with the Polish Szlachta.
