ОДЈЕЦИ ВЕЛИКЕ ФРАНЦУСКЕ РЕВОЛУЦИЈЕ У ОБНОВЉЕНОЈ СРБИЈИ
REVERBERATIONS OF THE GREAT FRENCH REVOLUTION IN RESTORED SERBIA

Summary/Abstract: The reverberations of the Great French Revolution in the restored Serbia found their ways in the ideas of nationalism and liberalism inherited from that Revolution in Europe. The idea of nationalism influnced the times of pre-insurgent Serbia until the unification into the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Ideological reverberations of the French Revolution have been related until the middle of XIX century to the individuals, including the outstanding ones — Boža Grujović, Vuk Karadzic, and Dimitrije Davidović. Under the influence of European revolutions in 1848, the ideas of the French Revolution came on the flag of a youth political movement seeking the legalization of national assembly and the freedom of press. At the assembly of St. Andrew in 1858. this has been visible several times when Jevrem Grujié tried to promote the idea of national sovereignty. Conservatives looked at him as a Robespiere, only without the guillotine. Termed as the „red ones", they even threatened verbally duke Mihailo by. the „horrors of the French Revolution”. One of the last ideological echoes has been the proposal of an address by a priest, Jovanovic, at the Michaelmas Assembly in 1867, listing „all freedoms proclaimed by the 1789. French Revolution”. The 1869. Constitution contained rights and freedoms from the Declaration of Rights of Man and the Citizen. Political activities under that Constitution led, however, to its supplementing by the right to free association, which has not been proclaimed by mentioned Declaration.
