- W139397220 abstract "‘More powerful than the eloquence of Mirabeau or the sword of Napoleon, the democratic government of America has struck far and wide into the minds of the European people.’1 Thus observed the Tory historian Archibald Alison in 1833, a pretty apt moment for such a reflection. It is certainly true that British pro-democracy forces during the agitation for the Great Reform Bill made effective propaganda use of ‘the American example’. From 1817, for instance, Jeremy Bentham’s writings were littered with exhortations to emulate the example of the republican United States. He did so in his Plan of Parliamentary Reform in the Form of a Catechism (1817), in his Radicalism Not Dangerous (1820) — his title is surely emblematic for those exploring ‘revolutionary threats’ — in his address to his Fellow Citizens of France (1830), and in the first volume of his magisterial Constitutional Code (1830). Bentham’s praise of America was wildly exuberant, if historically uncritical: ‘there, all is democracy; all is regularity, tranquillity, prosperity, security … no aristocracy; no monarchy; all that dross evaporated’:2 There they are — living, and (oh horror!) flourishing — and so flourishing! flourishing under a government so essentially illegitimate! … Oh what a reproach, a never-to-be-expunged reproach, to our own Matchless Constitution — matchless in rotten boroughs and sinecures! Oh! had they but one neck — these miscreants!3" @default.
