A fine copy. On April 9, 1753, the Parliament of Paris addresses remonstrances to Louis XV on the content of the Letters Patent by which the king asks the Court for its intentions concerning the procedures concerning 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. In the 1750s, the parliaments' opposition to the Council became 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 write, because they were so unacceptable to him and were linked to the confrontations that arose from the refusal of sacraments to Jansenists at the behest of bishops who supported the bull. According to d'Argenson's notes, these years marked the beginning of anticlerical activism. He notes in 1753 the decrease of more than a third (?) of the number of communions, the desertion of the Jesuit colleges, the multiplication of the masks of bishops, abbots, monks or nuns during the carnival. Provenance: Wet stamp of a large library of the free school N.D. de Mont Roland.
