Society of the Friends of the Constitution

The Society of the Friends of the Constitution was a French political group formed during the French Revolution, around 1790. It consisted of members who supported the new constitutional government and reforms aimed at limiting royal power and establishing a republic. They promoted Enlightenment ideas like liberty, equality, and popular sovereignty. The society served as a forum for discussion and influence among Revolutionaries, advocating constitutional monarchy before shifting towards more radical republican views. Their efforts contributed to shaping revolutionary policies and the broader political landscape during a pivotal period in France’s history.
