History of Law - History of French Institutions
Public Institutions - Genesis of State - Legitimacy of Political Power
The course on the History of Institutions presents the institutional issues essential to the formation of political power and the State from the end of Western Antiquity to the French Revolution (1789). Thus, after the Frankish period mixing Germanic and Roman traditions of authority and restoring the notion of Empire, feudalism testifies to the tensions between seignorial powers and the affirmation of sovereignty (king, emperor and pope). This confrontation leads to the birth of the modern State from the Renaissance and the exaltation, among law theorists, of the power of the Prince. An approach that must however be nuanced with political and social realities that will hinder the French monarchy.
This lecture is complemented by tutorials that deepen, through the study of historical texts, the main themes.
