Доўнар, “СТАТУТЫ ВКЛ, МАГДЭБУРГСКАЕ ПРАВА Ў БЕЛАРУСІ – ГОДНАСЦЬ І ПРАВЫ АСОБЫ”, in Логика достоинство и свободи личности, →ISBN, page 198: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).- Adnym z pryvabnyx pryncypaŭ mahdeburhskaha samakiravannja ŭ VKL byló tóje, što ŭlada ŭ hóradzje nalježala samim mjaščanam, jakija byli pa svaix pravax róŭnymi sjaród róŭnyx: jany na ahulʹnyx sxódax vyrašali najbólʹš važnyja pytanni žyccja hórada, vybirali i kantraljavali órhany haradskóha kiravannja i suda (pry hetym treba ŭličvacʹ, što vjarxóŭnaja ŭlada nad hóradam zaŭsjódy zastavalasja ŭ jahó ŭlasnika i jahó pradstaŭnikóŭ).
- One of the attractive principles of the Magdeburg self-government in the GDL 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).
