Generally, this required a sub-society of slaves to do much of the productive work, leaving the citizens free to deliberate on public affairs. Ancient Liberty was also limited to relatively small and homogenous societies, in which the people could be conveniently gathered together in one place to transact public affairs.

The Liberty of the Moderns, in contrast, was based on the possession of civil liberties , the rule of law, and freedom from excessive state interference. Direct participation would be limited: Instead, the voters would elect representatives , who would deliberate in Parliament on behalf of the people and would save citizens from the necessity of daily political involvement. He chastised several aspects of the French Revolution, and the failures within the social and political upheaval.

He stated how the French attempted to apply ancient republic liberties to the modern state. Constant realized that freedom meant drawing a line between the area of a person's private life and that of public authority. The dynamics of the state had changed: He even argued that with a large population, man had no role in government regardless of its form or type. Constant emphasized how the citizens of the ancient state found more satisfaction in their public existence and less in their private.

However, the satisfaction of modern peoples occurs in their private existence. These writers, influential to the French Revolution, according to Constant mistook authority for liberty and approved any means of extending the action of authority. Reformers used the model of ancient states of public force, and organized the most absolute despotism under the name of the Republic.

He continued to condemn despotism, citing the paradox of liberty derived from recourse to despotism, and the lack of substance in this ideology. Furthermore, he pointed out the detrimental nature of the Reign of Terror ; the inexplicable delirium. Constant understood the revolutionaries' disastrous over-investment in the political. They promoted constant vigilance and a public emphasis. Constant pointed out how the most obscure life, the quietest existence, the most unknown name, offered no protection during the Reign of Terror. He also stated that each individual added to the number, and took fright in the number that he had helped increase.

This mob mentality deterred many and helped to usher in new despots such as Napoleon. Moreover, Constant believed that, in the modern world, commerce was superior to war. He attacked Napoleon 's martial appetite, on the grounds that it was illiberal and no longer suited to modern commercial social organization.

Ancient Liberty tended to be warlike, whereas a state organized on the principles of Modern Liberty would be at peace with all peaceful nations. Constant believed that if liberty were to be salvaged from the aftermath of the Revolution, then chimerical Ancient Liberty had to be reconciled with the practical and achievable Modern Liberty. England, since the Glorious Revolution of , and then the United Kingdom after , had demonstrated the practicality of Modern Liberty and Britain was a constitutional monarchy.

Constant concluded that constitutional monarchy was better suited than republicanism to maintaining Modern Liberty. He was instrumental in drafting the "Acte Additional" of , which transformed Napoleon's restored rule into a modern constitutional monarchy. Indeed, the French Constitution or Charter of could be seen as a practical implementation of many of Constant's ideas: Thus, although often ignored in France because of his Anglo-Saxon sympathies, Constant made a profound albeit indirect contribution to French constitutional traditions.

Secondly, Constant developed a new theory of constitutional monarchy, in which royal power was intended to be a neutral power, protecting, balancing and restraining the excesses of the other, active powers the executive, legislature, and judiciary. This was an advance on the prevailing theory in the English-speaking world, which, following the conventional wisdom of William Blackstone , the 18th-century English jurist , had reckoned the King to be head of the executive branch.

In Constant's scheme, the executive power was entrusted to a Council of Ministers or Cabinet who, although appointed by the King, were ultimately responsible to Parliament. In making this clear theoretical distinction between the powers of the King as head of state and the ministers as Executive Constant was responding to the political reality which had been apparent in Britain for more than a century: This was important for the development of parliamentary government in France and elsewhere.

It should be noted, however, that the King was not to be a powerless cipher in Constant's scheme: Elsewhere for example, the "Statuto albertino" of the Kingdom of Sardinia , which later became the basis of the Italian constitution from the executive power was notionally vested in the King, but was exercisable only by the responsible ministers.

He defended the separation of powers as basis of a liberal State, but unlike Montesquieu and most of the liberal thinkers, he defended five powers instead of three. Constant's other concerns included a "new type of federalism ": This proposal reached fruition in , when elected municipal councils albeit on a narrow franchise were created. The importance of Constant's writings on the liberty of the ancients has dominated understanding of his work.

His wider literary and cultural writings most importantly the novella Adolphe and his extensive histories of religion emphasized the importance of self-sacrifice and warmth of the human emotions as a basis for social living. Thus, while he pleaded for individual liberty as vital for individual moral development and appropriate for modernity, he felt that egoism and self-interest were insufficient as part of a true definition of individual liberty.

Emotional authenticity and fellow-feeling were critical. In this, his moral and religious thought was strongly influenced by the moral writings of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and German thinkers such as Immanuel Kant , whom he read in preparing his religious history. Constant published only one novel during his lifetime, Adolphe , the story of a young, indecisive man's disastrous love affair with an older mistress.

A first-person novel in the sentimentalist tradition, Adolphe examines the thoughts of the young man as he falls in and out of love with Ellenore, a woman of uncertain virtue. Constant began the novel as an autobiographical tale of two loves, but decided that the reading public would object to serial passions. The love affair depicted in the finished version of the novel is thought to be based on Constant's affair with Anna Lindsay, who describes the affair in her correspondence published in the Revue des Deux Mondes , December — January From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
