Résumé
In politics and Law philosophy, Kant categorically denies the subject of the right of revolution and believes that the sovereign himself should promote the necessary reforms in the defective constitution. This contrasts with his apology to the French Revolution in philosophical history. But this apparent contradiction dissolves as soon as it is understood that Kant understood the French Revolution as a constitutional reform undertaken involuntarily by own King Louis XVI who transferred sovereignty to the people’s representatives to convene the Estates General, which had no obligation to it is returned to the previous sovereign, but declared in the National Assembly with a view to organizing the republican constitution, the one as the unified will of the people.
