Over de Auteur
Benjamin Constant was a prominent Swiss-French political writer and thinker, best known for his contributions to liberal political theory. He played a significant role during the French Revolution and the subsequent rise of liberalism in Europe. Constant’s works, including his influential writings on constitutional government and civil liberties, advocate for individual rights and a limited government, which were critical ideas in the development of modern democracy. His most notable texts include "Oeuvres politiques" and "Réflexions sur les constitutions," which reflect his deep engagement with political philosophy and his belief in the importance of personal freedom.
