This article centres on a draft constitution, dated 25 September 1792, which was submitted to the National Assembly by Theodore Le Sueur. The resemblance of the constitution to James Harrington's The Commonwealth of Oceana has long been acknowledged, but no explanation has been offered as to why this was the case, or what the background to the work was. This article seeks to make some sense of the document and in doing so to reveal something about the links between English and French republicanism.
