Synopsis
Excerpt from Œuvres Politiques de Benjamin Constant: Avec Introduction, Notes Et Index
En présentant ce volume au public nous devons tout d'abord rendre hommage à M. Edouard Labou laye, l'éminent publiciste dont le nom se rencontrera souvent dans les pages qui suivent. Biographe, edi teur et commentateur de Benjamin - Constant, M. La boulaye a mis en pleine lumière la vie et les oeuvres politiques du grand orateur de la Restauration; il a montré aux hommes de notre temps que c'était dans ces oeuvres qu'il fallait chercher le code de la liberté moderne, et il a rendu par là le plus grand service à la cause du progrès. Mais, à côté de l'édition qu'il a publiée en deux volumes in-8, nous avons pensé qu'il restait une place pour une édition plus mo deste, accessible à tous, dégagée des écrits de cir constance et ofirant l'essence même des doctrines de l'illustre écrivain.

About the Author
Benjamin Constant (1767-1830) was a French-Swiss po-litical writer and novelist. He combined a lively political career with a fertile literary output, while entertaining a series of liaisons with some of Frances most prominent women. Constant was an able parliamentarian, a cham-pion of liberalism and the author of The History of Reli-gion. Posterity, however, remembers him as the man who bared the anatomy of a destructive passion in the story of Adolphe (1816).

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book argues for the concept of popular sovereignty, concerning the legitimacy of governments. The author declares that a government's legitimacy stems from the "general will" of the people, rather than the power of a select few or the divine right of kings. The book provides a detailed discussion of the nature and extent of popular sovereignty, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate authority. Legitimate authority, the author argues, derives from the will of the people while illegitimate authority is based on force. This concept of popular sovereignty was a key principle of the French Revolution and remains a cornerstone of democratic thought, making this book essential reading for anyone interested in the history of democracy and the foundations of legitimate government. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282744915_0
