I want to know the answer to the following question:
WHat did the commonwealth increase before it declined.
All the background I'm provided with is that "The origins of the szlachta are shrouded in obscurity and mystery and have been the subject of a variety of theories.:207 Traditionally, its members were owners of landed property, often in the form of "manor farms" or so-called folwarks.". Is that enough to answer the question?
