Abstract


During the French revolution, the provincial «sociétés populaires» organised frequent meetings that aimed to co-ordinate general objectives and strategies. In despite of their Jacobin nature, these meetings were interpreted by both the Convention and by the Jacobin Club of Paris as a threat to Parisian hegemony, and as a form of support for Girondin federalism. Nonetheless, these meetings were essentially claiming greater administrative decentralization and fairer distribution of power among the various revolutionary agents; they did not argue against the legislative legitimacy of the Convention or Assembly, nor did they dispute the Parisian club`s authority.
