“Адным з прывабных прынцыпаў магдэбургскага самакіравання ў ВКЛ было тое, што ўлада ў горадзе належала самім мяшчанам, якія былі па сваіх правах роўнымі сярод роўных: яны на агульных сходах вырашалі найбольш важныя пытанні жыцця горада, выбіралі і кантралявалі органы гарадскога кіравання і суда (пры гэтым трэба ўлічваць, што вярхоўная ўлада над горадам заўсёды заставалася ў яго ўласніка і яго прадстаўнікоў).”

One of the attractive principles of the Magdeburg self-government in the GDL [Grand Duchy of Lithuania] was that the power in a city belonged to its dwellers, who were equals among equals in their rights: at general meetings they voted for the most important issues of the city life, elected and controlled city councils and courts of law (however, the supreme power in the city remained with its owner and his representatives).
