Summary "Projet de la constitution française de 1791" by Maximilien Robespierre is a historical account written during the late 19th century. This book presents the manuscript notes of Robespierre concerning the proposed French constitution as presented to the National Assembly in 1791. It provides valuable insights into the political thoughts and legal framework that Robespierre envisioned during a pivotal moment in the French Revolution. The content of the book includes Robespierre's annotations on constitutional articles that address sovereign power, legislative authority, electoral rights, and the nature of governance. Through his handwritten notes, he critiques various aspects of the proposed constitution, arguing for the inviolability of popular sovereignty and highlighting contradictions within the text regarding the delegation of powers. His commentary also emphasizes the dangers of allowing wealth to dictate political representation and stresses the importance of a government that reflects the will of the people. Overall, the manuscript reveals Robespierre's passionate advocacy for a truly representative form of government in revolutionary France. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
