The French Assembly of 1848 and American Constitutional Doctrines

＂The French Assembly of 1848 and American Constitutional Doctrines＂ explores the influence of American constitutional thought on the French Assembly convened in 1848. Eugene Newton Curtis examines the debates and decisions of the Assembly, highlighting the ways in which American constitutional principles were invoked, adapted, and sometimes rejected in the French context. This study provides valuable insights into the transatlantic exchange of political ideas during a period of significant upheaval and constitutional experimentation in France.

The book delves into the specific American doctrines that resonated with French lawmakers and intellectuals, shedding light on the complexities of applying these concepts to a different national and political landscape. It is an essential resource for scholars interested in comparative constitutionalism, French history, and the history of political thought. Curtis’s work offers a nuanced understanding of the interplay between American and European political traditions in the 19th century.
