b. Civil and economic.
The wars of the Republic and of Napoleon motives and
characteristics.
Q. LATER RESULTS.
We may note, to sum up, three chief principles of the Revolu-
tion.
1. Civil liberty.
2. Political liberty constructively, democracy ; destructively,
the abolition of monarchies by divine right; government
must be by as well as for the people.
3. Nationality, as opposed to the medieval idea of a State.
Napoleon, as the last of the benevolent despots, maintains
the first, temporarily suppresses the second, and tries to
use the third selfishly and deceitfully, but "finds it a
boomerang. "
Or: The French Revolution established the principles of
civil liberty, and prepared the way for the two great
movements of this century National Autonomy and
"Triumphant Democracy. "
"The history of the nineteenth century is precisely the history
of all the work the Revolution did leave. The Revolution was a
creating force, even more than a destroying one ; it was an inex-
haustible source of fertile influences; it not only cleared the ground
of the old society, but it manifested all the elements of the new so-
ciety. " FREDERIC HARRISON.
Note that the constructive influences could not be seen in
proper proportion until after 1848.
