==Maximilien Robespierre==
The populist mindset of Robespierre is well-known. A more specifically constitutional manifestation of his populism can be found in his project for a ''Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen'' submitted to the National Convention in 1793:
<blockquote>Toute institution qui ne suppose pas le peuple bon, et le magistrat corruptible, est vicieuse.<ref>[https://books.google.gr/books?id=S2S_mw9LMdUC&pg=PA10 Société des Amis de la Liberté et de l'Egalité, ''Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen présentée par Maximilien Robespierre'', Imprimerie patriotique et républicaine, Paris, 1793, p. 10 (article XXX).]</ref></blockquote>
