Document Summary
Portraying the theorist at his or her best. Constant articulates a view that most of us are brought up, are familiar with. Not everything is applicable, but most of it is most things are brought forward that we can identify with. Context: mainly french revolution (1789-1792/early 1800s) and it"s aftermath. Of how we lived, the conceptions we were living by, before the event. And how does that compare with the way we think we should live today and how politics is defined arguably for the next two centuries. What constant tells us: the modern conception of liberty is the freedom from tyranny. Our notion of freedom is: essentially to be left alone, to be not told what to do. To participate in legislation and in public life. The need to be involved in the greater public, what it meant to be a citizen. And those who did not participate were not citizens.
