Abstract:
Describes the activities of Kołłątaj, the Polish burghers' leader, during the Four Years Sejm, where reforms for both burghers and Jews were discussed. Kołłątaj led, as well, the group of Sejm deputies responsible for "reforming the Jews". Analyzes his project to reform the statute of the Jews, and presents him as a person who understood the need for improvement of the Jews' situation and their integration in Polish society. Underlines difficulties he encountered as a leader of the burghers; he risked losing their support. The proposed reforms were not carried out in this period.
