| Sumario: | The notion of aristo-democracy which characterizes Geneva in the first half of the 18th century offers itself as a political model of excellence for the reigning oligarchy. Daniel Leclerc, doctor and statesman mandated in 1707 by the Government to deal with the grievances of the bourgeoisie, proposed, in his instructive Memoir, a political structure for the Parvulissima, which, without even resorting to the idea of a balance of powers, calls upon modern natural law as a mode of political justification. But if he grants the people a certain number of legal prerogatives, historically based on the first Franchises, Leclerc immediately removes any possibility of exercising power in the name of the representative dimension that he grants to magistrates in the management of public affairs. |
