THE CORSIAN REPUBLIC AND THE INVENTION OF A LIBERAL CONSTITUTION (1755)

Research output: Articles / NotesScientific Articlepeer-review

Abstract

The Corsican people during much of the eighteenth century fought for their independence from Genoa, to succumb to the Kingdom of France. In that journey, about which Rousseau and Voltaire wrote and that Hamilton admired, a Constitution of 1755 was written that has remained ignored in the Hispanic constitutional sphere. It is studied, through an institutional analysis, the content of an authentic liberal Constitution.
