M DE TocQUEvLLE's REPORT RELATIVE To THE
REVISION CONSTITUTION.
From Wilmer Smiths Times July I2l
There be doubt that the report Of NJ Tocque-
vile is Of the important State papers which
France has produced for time past 1t Is very
boratey drawn up II rectes that numerous body of
the Assembly calls for the revision Of the constitu-
ton and then plunges into the whole question
OF revision, monarchy or no monarchy, republic
will ensue If there should be government
when the of the Legislative Assembly and the
tincton of the two powers and all its fatal risks,
pointed OUT and the danger of the crisis is represented
the government After very philosophical discussion
OF the rights OF all partesthe people the arstocracy
vile arrives al the conclusion that the ouv way to
avoid mischief is to delegate the power constituent
Assembly unfettered in every way whatever The
reporter dwes at great length upon the principle which
guided the election of the President in America AMI
shows that there where the oice is less important
the election is less Greet than the choice Of
presen tatjye of legislative assembly The mob in fact
would vote only for the name which they know. The
constitution infrDged every guarantee would be
lost M. de Tocquevile accordingly recommends a
vision of the constitution but at the time wholly
precluding the candidature of Louis Napoleon the
Prince de Joinville Ledru Rolln, other parties Hi
observations condemnaory of the policy and practice Of
Louis Napoleon and the people of the Elysee is of the
sfrnest character and in opinion quite conclusive
against their making head against the predomi-
nant feeling Of the Assembly In poin: of fact,
is very evident that ne considers it hopeless that
the Legislative embly will resign its powers to Con-
cused report will be- that nothing will be done, but
that in August the Assembly will adjourn without
ing to any definite determination whatever; and We
i'll cling TO the opinion that matters will remain in
statu quo NJ. Odlon Barrot, when the report was
read in the committee, tried to weaken its effect
in that point which especially insisted upon the
maintenance of the law, against every adven-
furious usurper. lie fenced in his speech insisting
that the circumstances Of the country might require
Illegal proceeding. But however Odlon Barrot
may qubbe the plain fact is that the report IL fatal
all kinds schemes having their object the over.
throw the republics aud opinion Is confirmed that
the Assembly will prevail against the intrgues Of all
various potters against the republic especially against
Louis Napoleon.
The following is a summary of the report OF NJ de
Tocquevle to the French Legislative Assembly He be-
gins by stating that 233 members of the Assembly call
for the revision of the constitution aud then examines
whether the constitution be essentially defective He
selects the main vices Of this charter the syetem Of
eectpg representatives by the scruin de se ballot
ing according to prepared list of candidates. lie then
dwes upon the incesant provocaon to conflict between
NE two powers. The reporter next examines the op-
poruDeness Of revision and states that the objections
Of MN. Baze and Cavaignsc on this point had been
set aside by the committee, which did not deny the
danger but insisted the necessity Of amending the
constitution The fatality Of the simultaneous extno-
ton Of powers is pointed out This deplorabs coin
cdence might have been averted, had the presidential
election takeI place first intended in May, 1912
The crisis is pointed perious in country
where the authority is centralized He arrives the
conclusion that the only regular way OF preventing
unconstitutional dictatorship is to delegate all the pow
ers to a Constituent Assembly The reporter then ad-
vers to the surprise OF February and the deep alarm
that Pervades society lest change should lead to
ciasm. He dwe the increased hazards to which
the country Is exposed from the divided state Of the
party Of order and from the direct election of the
frsge. Even in America, where the Office of Pre-
sident l. much lefs important the election Is
the only M ms they know NJ de Tocqueville thsn en-
tiers the most important part Of his report and
after having pointed out the probability Of unconsti
tutonal reelection proceeds to lay down rules for the
guidance of the sovereign Assembly under such
eventually The constitution once infnnged- every
guarantee Is lost. Who would dare to say that the
Assembly ought TO suffer the country to be dragged
aresh In the Of revolution and adventure Could
tional eSnddatures Would not this lead to open and
violent conflict between the great powers! In this
struggle, Of course the Assembly would triumph but
pei hsps ut the price Of giving the supremacy the
socialists IL difficult to set any issue to the status
quo, but usurpaion, anarchy ruin Of the republic,
for total revision The question Of whether the form Of
the government should be open to change is adroity
recommended monarchy. But II thought the As
sembly might without exceeding its limits recommend
On point all were agreed namely that the eonst
tutisnsl could be obtained the constitution
fhould be invariably and universally obeyed.
