Modern constitutionalism and global legal history In the historiography of public law and the institutional development of Western regimes, ‘constitutionalism’ is undoubtedly one of the leading concepts, as the idea of tempering regal and governmental powers has been present in the Western legal tradition for a long time. Western legal history has a long tradition of charters safeguarding the fundamental rights and liberties of the people, in which the 1215 Magna Carta is the textbook example. The 1689 Glorious Revolution in England even emphasized like no other before the idea of limited monarchy, as the Bill of Rights coined the essence of constitutionalism as an indispensable guarantee for “the true, ancient and indubitable rights and liberties of the people.” However, the adjective‘modern’isoftenadded,sincenumerousscholarsusetheconcept of modern constitutionalism to describe the global transformation of the institutional framework of the Western world during the last quarter of the eighteenth and the first half of the nineteenth century. There is a general agreement amongst scholars on the fact that the 1776 American Revolution marked the beginning of a new epoch. As the former colonies threw off the British yoke, the American revolutionaries advocated a political model that was no longer based on a divine order, but on natural law, stating that only the people themselves could render legitimacy to the institutional frame- work of a nation state. Hence, they established a complete reversal of the principles supporting constitutionalism. It is without a doubt that the epoch starting with the outbreak of the American Revolution marked a pivotal era in the history of public law. Opinions differ on what event marked the accomplishment of the rise of modern constitutionalism, but there seems to be a general consensus that it must be placed in the mid-nineteenth century, Modern Constitutionalism and Legal Transfer 427 when various constitutions were promulgated in the aftermath of the 1848 European revolutionary wave. There is a global acceptance that this Sattelzeit, as it was labelled by Reinhart Koselleck,1 can be considered the cradle of modern public law. Both historians and legal scholars have dealt with the rise of modern constitutionalism, as the drawing up of institutional fundamentals in a supremely ranked text still defines thinking about public law. Constitution- alism has even proven to be the most important element in recent history of public law, since all states, except for the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Israel, currently have a written constitution framing the fundamentals of their institutional framework and of the fundamental rights and liberties of their citizens. Hence, according to Karl Loewenstein, it is “safe to say that thewrittenconstitutionhasbecomethemostcommonanduniversally accepted phenomenon of the contemporary state organization.”2 Supra- national organisations such as the European Union are even working on a constitutional text to enhance their legitimacy and Bruce Ackerman has even launched the concept of ‘world constitutionalism.’3 Since 1776, a large corpus of texts of almost 2000 texts has emerged that can be labelled ‘constitutions’, offering scholars and researchers a vast ocean of sources to dive into.4 Hence, one could argue that the rise of modern constitutionalism is one of the pillars of global legal history,5 especially when focusing on the history of public law and the way institutional frameworks have developed worldwide. 1 Koselleck (1970) XV. 2 Loewenstein (1961); Loewenstein (1965). 3 Ackerman (1997). 4 In 1954–1963, the Alfred Metzer Verlag published a bibliographical register in four volumes, with bibliographies of all constitutions and constitutional documents that were hithertoknow(vol.I:Germany,vol.II:Europe,III:America,IV:Africa–Asia–Australia). See: Menzel (1954–1963). There has been no systematic updating of this register, although some supplements were published in Bryde / Hecker (1975) and Hecker (1976). Of course, many constitutional texts can be found nowadays on the internet, e. g. by Wikisource. As a result of the international research project “The Rise of Modern Constitutionalism, 1776–1849” a collection of almost 1500 constitutional documents (including draft bills) of this era has been made available. The project is led by professor Horst Dippel and the texts are available at www.modern-constitutions.de. K.G. Saur Ver- lag / De Gruyter has published several volumes with the annotated editions in hard copy. 5 Crossley (2007); Mazlish / Buultjens (2004); O’Brien (2006). 428 Bram Delbecke However, although the concept of modern constitutionalism seems to be globally accepted amongst scholars, the German legal historian Horst Dippel recently wrote that “our knowledge of its history is next to nothing,”6 as there is little reflection on its rise as a historical phenomenon. Of course, there is a vast literature on the subject of constitutionalism, as the legal scholars and political scientists have turned it into a research field of its own. The books and articles drawing up typological models of constitutions7 or questioning the essence and the meaning of a constitution as a legal or political phenomenon are countless.8 However, when it comes to grasping the historical essentials of the 1776–1849 era, things are less clear than one might expect, says Dippel. While he acknowledges that many scholars have already thoroughly dealt with the matter, he stresses that a fresh perspective is needed, since most comparative studies are based upon the concept of the nation state. Therefore, he advocates a new thinking on constitutional history and on its impact on the Western legal tradition, which surpasses the boundaries of national legal history.9 To grasp the conceptual founda- tions of modern constitutionalism as a political and legal phenomenon on itself, he believes new approaches are needed for a better comprehension of modern constitutionalism as a fundamental concept in the global under- standing of the history of public law. Of course, Dippel’s analysis of the existent historiography is rather bluntly formulated, and one cannot ignore the fact that some legal historians have already taken up the challenge of discussing these fundamentals. Most studies deal with the development of modern constitutionalism by describ- ing the worldwide rise of the idea that the legal framework of every state is founded on a set of supreme legal principles that are consecrated in a text which is hierarchically superior to all other legal norms, and which precede every government. In these matters, they generally focus on the ‘classic’ key elements and principles. It is the sum of what are considered the quintes- sential elements of the public law of a nation, such as popular sovereignty, the different declarations of rights, the idea of limited government, the 6 Dippel (2005) 153. 7 Wheare (1966); Bryce (1905); Loewenstein (1965); Strong (1960); Van Damme (1984). 8 Sartori (1962), Morris-Jones (1965), Maddox (1982), Van Marseveen / Van der Tang (1973); Van der Tang (1998). 9 Dippel (2005) 153–154 and 167–169. Modern Constitutionalism and Legal Transfer 429 constitution as supreme law, separation of powers, governmental account- ability or judiciary independence.10 Hence, they present a rather homoge- neous, sometimes even monolithic image of constitutionalism in the 1776– 1849 era, especially because most studies focus on what ideas were copied from the notorious American and French constitutions. Hence, the histo- riography of modern constitutionalism seems to be predominantly focused on what all constitutions have in common, a search for the greatest common factors of modern constitutionalism.11 2. Local history, constitutional singularities and the political offence However, in order to understand the rise of constitutionalism as a part of global legal history, it could be useful to act upon Thomas Duve’s Gebot einer Priorisierung des Lokalen.12 His compelling suggestion that in order to

  • 2. Foreword by Cleveland Moffett, the Bulletin Magazine the Belgian
    2. Foreword by Cleveland Moffett, The Bulletin Magazine The Belgian Revolution of 1830 has never been celebrated with the uproarious firework festivities that the national upheavals of the French, Americans, Mexicans or Russians inspire every year. One reason is that the Belgians never had any such colourful characters as Danton, Washington, Zapata or Lenin. They have their statues of Rogier, Gendebien and Merode, of course, and then there was that riot at the opera house in August – young men stirred by a romantic aria to throw their top hats in the air and cry ‘Liberty!’ – followed by the four days in September of valiant battle and around the Royal Park, all splendid events well worth commemorating. And yet the date chosen as Belgium’s national day is July 21, 1831, when an immigrant German prince agreed to be called Leopold I and to accept the role of the people’s king. Still, it was a peaceful compromise that ended a year of turmoil. A constitutional monarchy was what the upstart new nation’s powerful neighbours insisted upon. The only holdout, the one fierce opponent of this sensible solution, was journalist Louis de Potter (Bruges, 1786-1859). He, strangely enough, has no public statue or acknowledgement for his merits. Nothing more than a blue plate with his name in a short dusty side street in the pink district of Schaerbeek. And yet, without Louis de Potter it is hardly likely that there would have been any revolution at all. It was his eloquence, his pamphlets and proclamations, that led the people of Belgium, then under the thumb of William I of the Netherlands, to believe they could rise up against Dutch tyranny and go it alone.

  • The Fan Affair and the Conquest of Algeria1
    The Fan Affair and the conquest of Algeria1 Michael Dudzik2 ABSTRACT The study analyses the domestic political background of the conflict that resulted in the French conquest of Algeria. The author begins at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries when the Paris gov- ernment bought grain from Algerian merchants. Subsequent economic cooperation, including the provision and collection of loans, negatively affected mutual relations. Deteriorating relations were negatively affected by the appointment of Hussein Pasha as governor of Algeria in 1818, and they further worsened after a diplomatic insult against the French ambassador in April 1827. The article analyses developments in both countries, the gradual escalation of conflicts and their response in the European powers and presents the reasons that prompted the French government to intervene. KEYWORDS France, the conquest of Algeria, Charles X, Jules Prince de Polignac, 1830 INTRODUCTION The tense political and social climate in France at the end of the second decade of the 19th century reflected the citizens’ dissatisfaction with the regime of the re- turned Bourbons. King Charles X (1757–1836) promoted absolutism and restrictions on the press and relied primarily on the Catholic Church and the pre-revolution- ary nobility. Together with the Prime Minister, Prince Jules Auguste Marie de Poli- gnac (1780–1847), he tried to divert public attention from the negative response of extremely conservative domestic policy measures to foreign policy, and use the age- old dispute with Algeria, a vassal of the Ottoman Empire, to achieve easy victory and thus raise the prestige of the army and the regime. The study analyses Franco-Algerian economic and political relations after 1818 when Hussein Pasha became Algerian governor.

  • Sovereignty, Civic Participation, and Constitutional Law: the People Versus the Nation in Belgium
    Sovereignty, Civic Participation, and Constitutional Law: The People versus the Nation in Belgium Edited by Brecht Deseure, Raf Geenens, and Stefan Sottiaux First published in 2021 ISBN: 978-0-367-48359-3 (hbk) ISBN: 978-0-367-71228-0 (pbk) ISBN: 978-1-003-03952-5 (ebk) Chapter 15 Sovereignty without sovereignty: The Belgian solution Raf Geenens (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) This OA chapter is funded by KU Leuven. 15 Sovereignty without sovereignty The Belgian solution Raf Geenens “Let us delete the word sovereignty from our vocabulary” Benjamin Constant (1830) At least since 1950, Belgian constitutional law is in the grip of a myth: the myth of national sovereignty.1 Framed as an originalist claim about the meaning of arti- cle 25 at the time of its ratification, scholars and judges alike hold that sovereignty in the Belgian context means ‘national sovereignty’.2 National sovereignty is here understood as the opposite of popular sovereignty, in line with the conceptual dichotomy expounded by, among others, French legal theorist Raymond Carré de Malberg. In recent years, several authors have demonstrated that this inter- pretation of the Constitution is highly anachronistic (De Smaele, 2000; Deseure, 2016; Geenens and Sottiaux, 2015). The Belgian drafters, when working on the Constitution in 1830–1831, did not understand sovereignty in the terms that are now routinely ascribed to them. The national sovereignty myth, it seems, is a product of muddled thinking. In order to stave off the push for more – and more direct – democracy, subsequent generations of legal scholars applied ever thicker conceptual layers to the Constitution, up to the point where it has come to say nearly the opposite of what it said in 1831.

Obligation and Self-Interest in the Defence of Belgian Neutrality, 1830-1870 Frederik Dhondt1 Introduction ‘we are less complacent than the Swiss, and would not take treaty violations so lightly.’ Baron de Vrière to Sylvain Van de Weyer, Brussels, 28 June 18592 Neutrality is one of the most controversial issues in public international law3 and international relations history.4 Its remoteness from the United Nations system of collective security has rendered its discussion less topical.5 The significance of contemporary self-proclaimed ‘permanent neutrality’ is limited. 6 Recent scholarship has taken up the theme as a general narrative of nineteenth century international relations: between the Congress of Vienna and the Great War, neutrality was the rule, rather than the exception.7 In intellectual history, Belgium’s neutral status is seen as linked to the rise of the ‘Gentle Civilizer of Nations’ at the end of the nineteenth century.8 International lawyers’ and politicians’ activism brought three Noble Peace Prizes (August Beernaert, International Law Institute, Henri La Fontaine). The present contribution focuses on the permanent or compulsory nature of Belgian neutrality in nineteenth century diplomacy, from the country’s inception (1830-1839)9 to the Franco- 1 Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), University of Antwerp, Ghent University/Research Foundation Flanders.
