Renovation and Representation after 1790
View through CrossRef
This chapter divides into two sections. The first deals with what we shall call Leopold II’s “renovation” of the Estates following Joseph II’s death; the resolution of grievances from the previous reign; assemblies and officeholders; and the question of spheres of influence and participation in government. How did the circumstances of the Estates after 1790 differ from those before 1780? The second section treats the Estates’ inherent condition not only in relation to the changing ideas of representation under the impact of both the rise of contract theory in natural law and the Atlantic revolutions, but also in view of Austrian social and political conditions generally. To what extent were the Estates an anachronism by 1815?
