The French Assembly of 1848 and American Constitutional Doctrines

Más información sobre el libro

This study began in Paris in 1913, prior to the second alliance between France and the United States during wartime. It is rewarding to discover that a strong friendship existed between the two nations in the early days of the Second Republic, rooted in similar approaches to constitutional issues and a shared quest for solutions. The investigation into this relationship is deemed significant. Gratitude is expressed to M. Emile Bourgeois, professor at the Sorbonne, and M. Georges Renard, professor at the College de France, for their early guidance and assistance in accessing the Chamber of Deputies' archives. Acknowledgment is also given to Professors James Harvey Robinson, James T. Shotwell, and Charles A. Beard of Columbia University for their encouragement, as well as to Professors Charles D. Hazen, William A. Dunning, and William R. Shepherd for their constructive critiques. Special thanks are extended to Professor Hazen for his help with proofreading and to the author's wife, Blanche O. Curtis, for her unwavering support in overcoming the task's mechanical challenges and for her ongoing inspiration.
