Petitions and complaints are only to be brought under our cognizance
when they have been deliberated on in both Assemblies (that is, in the
Assembly of the Estate of Nobles, and in the Assembly of Deputies of
the Knighthood and Commoners), and when in each of these Assemblies at
least two-thirds of the votes have been in favor of such petitions or
complaints.
When the two above-named Assemblies, or one of them, after the discussion
of a law, or of certain articles of a law, shall decide against that law
by a majority less than that above-named, the views of the minority shall
be submitted to our consideration.
