André Tardieu and the crisis of liberal constitutionalism (1933-1934), Nicolas Roussellier.
Symbol and leader of a powerful current which demanded a reform of the State in the France of the early 1930s, André Tardieu never crossed the threshold of a break with the republican tradition. But his plan for strengthening the executive power led to a double impasse, threoretical and practical. How was it possible to renew the Third Republic's institutions without forsaking the postulates on which they were based ? This accounts for the paradoxes of an itinerary which led him to the apparent summit of his career after the events of 6 February 1934, and then in less than one year to retirement and definitive silence.
