AB - We believe that democracy is at the heart of the political order pursued by modern societies. However, most of the theorists and revolutionaries of the 18th century political revolution were far from pursuing democracy, which means direct political participation of the people. The purpose of this article is to reintroduce Marquis de Condorcet as a pioneer of modern democracy, who advocated in the clearest and most systematic terms for a democracy (close to its etymological meaning) rather than an aristocratic republic. One of the rare figures of the late eighteenth-century revolutionary period who was both a thinker and a revolutionary, Condorcet distinguished himself not only in the abstract formulation of the principles of the new state but also in the political struggle to put them into practice; in particular, he proposed one of the most democratic constitution in French history. This paper will focus primarily on Condorcet's views on the US Constitution and the ideas contained in the Gironde Constitution to show how he was a political thinker who consistently and meticulously devised a democratic constitutional system.
