Abstract

Jacobin constitutional thought was based on universal suffrage, on short mandate and on direct democracy. This article analizes the legislative function provided for by the Jacobin constitution. It was an attempt to put in the constitution the referendum, in a legislative procedure based on the thought of Rousseau and on a democratic point of view.
