Journal de la société de 1789 - Nº II by Condorcet et al.
Journal de la société de 1789 - Nº II by Condorcet et al. is a Revolutionary-era political journal issue written in the late 18th century. It is a collection of essays and reports on constitutional questions, religion and the state, public policy, and practical industry. The likely topic is how a newly free nation should arrange civil and religious liberty, distribute powers of war and peace, and foster useful arts. The issue
opens with a forceful defense of absolute freedom of conscience, rejecting any state “national cult,” warning against clerical corporations, and urging civil registries and secular public education to secure peace and equality. A major political analysis then examines the decree assigning the making of war and peace, parses the shared roles of legislature and crown, weighs the hazards of popular passions and royal veto, and proposes checks through policy—renouncing conquests, clarifying ministerial responsibility, citizenizing the army, and keeping the monarch from commanding in person. A correspondence piece records parish priests in Civray planning a public denunciation of writings they deem hostile to religion while proclaiming loyalty to the constitution. The volume closes with a technical article on manufacturing soda from sea salt, highlighting the economic opening created by the end of the salt tax, the production of muriatic acid and sal ammoniac, advances in textile bleaching, and an invitation to investors to scale a new national industry.
