Kościuszko's proclamation refers to a speech given by Tadeusz Kościuszko in Kraków on March 24, 1794. The speech is considered the starting point of the Kościuszko's Uprising against the forces of Imperial Russia occupying Poland. Around 10 o'clock in the Old Town square in Kraków, the Act of Insurrection was read by Kraków's Sejm representative.[1]{{rp|182}} The document gave Tadeusz Kościuszko command over the National Armed Force ({{Lang-pl|Siła Zbrojna Narodowa}}) and he vowed to convene a Supreme National Council.[1]{{rp|180}} Drafted by Hugo Kollontay, an advocate of physiocracy, it began with:[1]{{rp|180}}
Soon afterwards Kościuszko stepped forward and recited his oath:[1]{{rp|182}} {{Cquote|I, Tadeusz Kościuszko, hereby swear by the God to the entire Polish Nation, that I shall not use the powers vested in me for anyone's oppression, but for defence of the integrity of the borders, recuperation of Nation's sovereignty and strengthening the universal freedom. So help me God and the innocent passion of His Son!}}AftermathOn 10 May, the council was appointed by Kosciuszko, which was led by Kolontay as the minister of treasury, Potocki as minister of foreign affairs, and other ministers for justice, security, military needs, provisions, national affairs and administrative affairs.[1]{{rp|192}} The council coined money with "Freedom, Unity, Independence-The Republic, 1794" on the new zloty.[1]{{rp|192}} Kosciuszko stated the council was formed of "...virtuous citizens and friends of the people, and when I nominated them, I did not want to think about whether they are peasants, burghers or aristocrats.".[1]{{rp|193}} References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 Storozynski, A., 2009, The Peasant Prince, New York: St. Martin's Press, {{ISBN|9780312388027}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Kosciuszko's Proclamation}}{{Poland-hist-stub}} 2 : Kościuszko Uprising|Oaths |
