Henri-Benjamin Constant de Rebecque (French: 25
October 1767 – 8 December 1830), or just Benjamin Constant, was a Swiss-French
political dissident and essayist on legislative issues and religion. He was the
creator of a halfway personal mental novel, Adolphe. He was an intense
traditional liberal of the mid nineteenth century, who impacted the Trienio
Liberal development in Spain, the Liberal Revolution of 1820 in Portugal, the
Greek War of Independence, the November Uprising in Poland, the Belgian
Revolution, and progressivism in Brazil and Mexico.
Henri-Benjamin Constant was conceived in
Lausanne to relatives of Huguenot Protestants who had fled from Artois to
Switzerland during the Huguenot Wars in the sixteenth century. His dad, Jules
Constant de Rebecque, filled in as a high-positioning official in the Dutch
States Army, similar to his granddad, his uncle and his cousin Jean Victor de
Constant Rebecque. At the point when Constant's mom kicked the bucket not long
after his introduction to the world, the two his grandmas dealt with him.
Private mentors instructed him in Brussels (1779) and in the Netherlands
(1780). At the Protestant University of Erlangen (1783), he picked up
arrangement to the court of Duchess Sophie Caroline Marie of
Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. He had to leave after an illicit relationship with a
young lady, and moved to the University of Edinburgh. There he inhabited the
home of Andrew Duncan, the senior and moved toward becoming companions with
James Mackintosh and Malcolm Laing. When he left the city, he guaranteed to pay
back his betting obligations.
