The principles of the policy of the Viennese Court towards the social classes and categories of Transylvania (1688-1790)

Journal Title: Codrul Cosminului - Year 2013, Vol 19, Issue 2

Abstract

Social policy has been a key component of the absolutist regime of the Habsburgs in Transylvania. An important aspect of social policy was the Viennese Court's position regarding social classes and categories from Principality. The measures taken by the Habsburgs in this respect led to some modification of the social structures of the autonomous Principality of Transylvania, as well as they targeting the discipline of the population and increase its commitment to the Habsburg dynasty. Likewise, through various measures, the Court of Vienna tried to interfere in the social order of the general state of Transylvania, a system inherited from the autonomous Principality (1541-1691).
