    • Exil of Malesherbes. It belongs to a movement of opposition to the despotism, the coalition of the “patriots”, who support the parliamentary thesis against the royal thesis. Resulting from the nobility (of Aubuisson, Brancas), magistrates (Malesherbes, Augeard), ecclesiastics (Mey), lawyers (Fair, Beaumont, Target and the extremists Martin de Marivaux, Morizot and Saige), journalists (Pidansat de Mairobert), they incarnate the majority segment of the public opinion, which was essential with the rise of journalism, the urban population, the educated classes and the administrative and legal sector. They take over Jansenist, but have bonds with the philosophers and think of the implementation of a new “constitution” French, inspired of the social Contract of Rousseau and based on the respect of the law, which must be higher than the Prince and equal for all. They are in favor of a national representation by the General states, and failing this by the Parliament and assert the freedom of conscience, freedom of press, personal freedom against the lettre de cachets, the freedom of property, national freedom…
    • In addition to the royalists (pro-Maupeou) and the patriots (pro-member of Parliament), a third voice, radical, is that of the philosophers maturing or more young people. Most moderate are Necker, Galiani or Turgot, which would be satisfied with a moderated absolutism, safe from the arbitrary one. The majority further see (Diderot, of Alembert, Helvétius, of Holbach, Mably, Condorcet, Raynal, Grimm, Madam d' Epinay, Mirabeau) and call upon against the despotism triumphing the Lumières and the natural law. They consider freedom like an end in itself (Diderot) or an access to justice, the virtue or happiness. They wish the religious tolerance but do not exclude to finish some with the Catholic church. Finally the innovators recommend the equality in front of the law, the popular sovereignty incarnated in a body of legislative and national representation elected official by the vote censitaire.
