- Title
TOCQUEVILLE'S BLIND SPOT? POLITICAL CONTESTATIONS UNDER THE OLD REGIME.
- Authors
Baker, Keith Michael
- Abstract
The article focuses on the political contestations under the Old Regime in the book "The Old Regime and the Revolution," by Alexis de Tocqueville. It stresses that the reassessment of the prerevolutionary constitutional conflicts between the French royal government and the parliament, was not mentioned in Tocqueville's book. Tocqueville concluded in his book that the parliaments had become the unwitting instruments of a force beyond themselves. It questions why Tocqueville paid little attention to such contestations.
