| description | The “sanction” was the mechanism by which the king assented to the law without using his right of veto. The revolutionary constitution of 1971 was the only constitution to provide for the granting of royal assent. The parliamentary debate on this point was especially heated, and produced theories that could not be properly understood if they were not put into context and if the influence of parliamentary strategy upon political ideas was not taken into account. Seemingly technical, the question of royal assent actually raises a political problem: Who was making law under the constitutional monarchy, the assembly alone or the assembly in conjunction with the king? In other words, was the king “co-legislator” or not? The response to this question is crucial. The conception of the king as co-legislator might account for the various forms of veto, as well as the interpretation of the functions of royal assent in the framework of the Constitution of 1791. Only a legislative decree assented by the king could be considered a perfect law. |
