Political party in France
Aide-toi, le ciel t'aidera
(
French
idiom, meaning "
God helps those who help themselves
"; literally, "Help yourself,
heaven
shall help you"), simply called
Aide-toi
, was a French society that aimed to stir up the electorate against the government during the
Bourbon Restoration
(1814?1830).
History
[
edit
]
The term "
Aide-toi, le ciel t'aidera
" began to be used by some political writers around 1824, and became the motto and title of the Aide-toi society.
The purpose was to create opposition to the government by strictly legitimate means, mainly letters and political journals.
The founders and active members were mostly from the
Doctrinaires
party, including
Francois Guizot
, who was president for some time,
Tanneguy Duchatel
,
Prosper Duvergier de Hauranne
, Paul-Francois Dubois, Charles de Remusat,
Adolphe Thiers
and
Eleonore-Louis Godefroi Cavaignac
.
The association's organ was first
Le Globe
and then
Le National
.
Charles Renouard
was among the liberals who opposed the
Bourbon Restoration
.
He was a member of the "Aide-toi" society and participated in the creation of the
Globe
.
He was the lawyer for this journal, and contributed to it regularly from 1825 to 1827.
Although intimate with Lafayette and others, the lawyer
Odilon Barrot
(1797?1877) took no share in their schemes for the overthrow of the government, but in 1827 joined the Aide-toi association.
Aide-toi supported liberal candidates in the 1827 elections.
The society was very influential in causing the
July Revolution
in 1830.
It gave a banquet presided over by Barrot for the 221 deputies who had signed the address of March 1830 to Charles X, and threatened to reply to force by force.
The society was allowed at first by the new government, but was dissolved in 1832.
