Idées_républicaines
Idées républicaines (Republican ideas) is a political pamphlet by the French philosopher and author Voltaire.[1] It was published anonymously and undated, but is thought to have been written in late 1765.[2] It defends free thought and free expression in general, and also contains Voltaire's thoughts on the ongoing campaign for democracy in Geneva, where he supported greater power for the citizens.[3]
