In which work does a Polish parliamentarian lie across a door?

Battle of Grunwald
Rejtan
Stańczyk
Astronomer Copernicus

Answer

Rejtan, the answer to the question, refers to Tadeusz Rejtan, a Polish parliamentarian known for his dramatic act of protest in 1773. During a session of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth Sejm, Rejtan famously lay across a door to prevent the passage of a bill that would effectively dismantle the country's sovereignty.
