Deportacja we francuskich legislacjach czasów ancien régime’u w świetle wielowiekowej tradycji instytucjonalnej
Deportation in Deportation in French legislation of the ancien régime period in light of a centuries-old institutional tradition

Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to the institution of deportation mainly in the French legal system and in the political reality of the absolute monarchy period. Deportation is by no means an unambiguous concept. It is also not a uniformly defined legal institution. Its presence and justification, its substantive and legal shape as well as its procedural setting were a result of numerous factors and circumstances which were determined in particular by tradition, mentality, political system as well as by geographical conditions, which were connected with the territorial structure of the state. This institution was not an original construct of French law. However, over the centuries, it took on specific features in the particular polit- ical circumstances of the turbulent history of French statehood. The comparative method of exploration and the centuries-old temporal perspective made it possible to observe the evolution of this legal institution as well as to evaluate it in the form of de lege lata and de lege ferenda conclusions.
