François Mounier, a French Revolutionary

Mounier was the master mind behind a movement to get the dauphine estates provincial recalled. Though he was out in front of events for the moment, mounier would remain committed to the dream of a constitutional monarchy. As we'll see, he'll enter the estates general as one of the most influential and genuinely recognizable members - then resign from that body less than a year later. Then, branded as a reactionary, he will be forced to slip away to switzerland. In 17 90, the french revolution moves fast, but that is all still in the future. For now,mounier was in his prime.
