Le Constitutionnel

Its primary contributors were Antoine Jay, Évariste Dumoulin, Adolphe Thiers, Louis François Auguste Cauchois-Lemaire, as well as Alexander Chevassut and his son-in-law Nicole Robinet de La Serve.

During the 19th century, European monarchs were wary of the press and often suppressed it because they believed it could spark popular uprisings.

[1] At the same time, Louis Véron founded the Revue de Paris in 1829 and revived Le Constitutionnel in 1835.

In 1848, it played a key role in the election of Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte and was a major government newspaper of the Second French Empire.

Véron asked Charles Augustin Sainte-Beuve to write a weekly column on current literary topics.
