Selah Warren · Answer 1

A) Nobility.

Explanation:

The Parliament or Sejm was the body charged with the election of the king. The crown was not hereditary, the king had to consult many important policy issues with the parliament. So, the Polish monarchy was weak. This system was often plagued by corruption and bribes, and as some historians state, it caused chaos and an ineffective monarchy. These are key factors in the disappearance of Poland from the map of Europe in the late 18th century: It was partitioned among Prussia, Russia and Austria.
