During the Kościuszko Uprising in 1794, under the influence of revolutionary France and Enlightenment ideas about the role of the militia, "pospolite ruszenie" was redefined as consisted of not only the nobility, but all able-bodied males between 18 and 40 years of age. In 1806, by decree of Napoleon, the "pospolite ruszenie" in the Duchy of Warsaw served for a short period as the reserve force and recruitment pool for the regular army. During the November Uprising in 1831, the "Sejm" (Polish Parliament) called for "pospolite ruszenie" recruits from the ages of 17 to 50, but that plan was opposed by General Jan Zygmunt Skrzynecki.
