| Sumario: | This article examines the permanence of the theologico-political doctrine of the king’s two bodies in the early French Revolution through the Constitution of 1791. This analysis unfolds in two parts. The first part presents a critique of the dominant interpretation in historiography of the principle of national sovereignty adopted in 1789, and posits in its place one that fits within the horizon of meaning shaped in the longue durée by the royalist tradition. The second part highlights the theologico-political nature of the Revolution and the symbolic operation carried out on the notion of sovereignty, in order to show the schemata of organization and representation belonging to the king’s two bodies doctrine that were kept in the Constitution of 1791. |
