The confederation of a royal army was formed in Szczebrzeszyn on November 23rd, 1672. This time the army protested against changes, introduced into the nobility in a military camp close to the Gołąb (the general confederation was formed here as well). The Szczebrzeszyn union was directed by the group of people, and under the leadership of the Grand Hetman of the Crown Jan Sobieski. Other leaders of the union were: three senators associated with the army, four royal officials, two military officials, as well as nearly thirty officers. These people took up politic and military actions, against confederates from Gołąb. As a result, leaders of the royal army union brought to the cancelling the Gołąb confederation and to the abolition of the state of emergency in Rzeczpospolita (Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth). Army confederates finished their movement on March 11th, 1673, during the peaceful sejm (parliament), when they were reconciled with the King Michal Korybut Wiśniowiecki. But due to all these actions, leaders of the Szczebrzeszyn confederation increased the role and position of the army itself in the state. All prerogatives of the Grand Hetman of the Crown were sustained as well.

In the 1660s and 1670s, the Senate of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth consisted of between 146 and 150 members. Appointments to senatorial offices could only be made by the King, and some of them took place during Sejm sessions. There were three types of nominations for senatorial offices. The first concerned those who entered the Senate. The second referred to those who sat in the Senate and who advanced in the senatorial hierarchy. The third referred to senators who were additionally granted a second senatorial office. During the 1661–1679 Sejm sessions discussed here, senatorial appointments were usually announced right at the beginning of the session, just after the King’s proposal or the senators’ votes, but many times such decisions were also taken at the end of the Sejm. Most senatorial appointments were made at the coronation Sejm, which inaugurated the proper reign of the King-elect (the Sejms of 1669 and 1676). At the Sejm sessions discussed here, which were held in the 1660s and 1670s, 113 people were nominated for senatorial offices.
