A fine copy. On April 9, 1753, the Parliament of Paris addressed remonstrances to Louis XV on the content of the Letters Patent by which the king asked the Court for its intentions concerning the procedures relating to the matter of the refusal of the sacraments. Preceded by: "Articles adopted by the Parliament, all the chambers assembled on January 25, 1753, to fix the objects of the remonstrances ordered on the 4th of the same month of January"; the king refuses to receive them. It is considered one of the most famous remonstrances in parliamentary history. The 1750s saw the parliaments' opposition to the Conseil become very strong. In Paris, two remonstrances attracted particular attention. The first were the famous "Grand Remonstrances" of April 9, 1753, which the first president refused to draft, as he found them so unacceptable and linked to the confrontations that arose from the denial of sacraments to Jansenists at the behest of bishops who supported the bull. These years marked, according to d'Argenson's notes, the beginning of anticlerical activism. He notes in 1753 the decrease of more than a third (?) in the number of communions, the desertion of Jesuit colleges, the multiplication of bishops', abbots', monks' or nuns' masks during the carnival. Provenance: Wet stamp of a large library of the free school N.D. de Mont Roland.
