520 _aJournal de la société de 1789 - Nº I by Condorcet and Grouvelle is a revolutionary political journal issue written in the late 18th century. This publication outlines the mission of a reformist learned society, proposes a shared “social art” to improve collective welfare, and tackles urgent constitutional questions born of the French Revolution. The issue opens with a prospectus defining the journal’s purpose: to connect thinkers and societies at home and abroad, synthesize scattered economic and political knowledge, and organize its work across five sections (Art Social; National Correspondence; Foreign Correspondence; National Assembly; Varieties). It then presents a forceful address to the National Assembly arguing against wealth-based eligibility rules for public office, warning that such thresholds injure equality, distort representation, tie constitutional rights to tax machinery, and are both arbitrary and easily evaded. A long analysis on war and peace powers surveys arguments against exclusive control by either king or legislature, noting the risks of despotism on one side and delay, indiscretion, faction, and corruption on the other; it concludes that a carefully divided and organized system of shared responsibilities is the only workable solution, with fuller principles to follow. The closing “Varieties” section offers a satirical letter exposing how notoriety from hostile pamphleteers can be cynically used to win patriotic credit at election time.
