For him, it was a matter of \"regulated submission\" to the Holy See, achieved through \"the maintenance of natural liberties and common rights against any innovations that might be introduced to weaken common law and establish a new law in its place.\" It is essential to understand that the royal power sought to control the religious landscape of the country, particularly with the aim of reconquering Protestant regions for evangelization. D'Aguesseau mentions that this work \"is so esteemed, and indeed so estimable, that it has been considered the Palladium of France, and has acquired a kind of authority more flattering to its author than that of the laws themselves, since it is founded solely on the merit and perfection of his work.\" President Hainault attests that \"Pithou's Maxims have, in a way, the force of law, although they lack its authenticity.\" And Dupin specifies that more than 200 years after the first edition, “in the preamble to an edict of November 1719, concerning the possession of benefits by the religious of the reformed congregations, the articles of liberties are cited as rules which must be followed, and the Parliaments of Dauphiné, in a decree of regulation of April 21, 1768, enjoined the execution of one of these articles” (Dupin, ref. 2710 to 2712).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mémoire du Droit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51963127791963,"sku":"27163","price":600.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0941\/0163\/5419\/files\/27163-1.jpg?v=1766929113","url":"https:\/\/2ercug-k1.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/27163-pithou-traitez-des-droits-et","provider":"La Mémoire du Droit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
