The Sovereign Power between Dictionaries, Political Catechisms and Newspapers
Dictionaries
The need to discuss public affairs created a real "community of the word" and of the print media. Public discussions wanted to influence the choices of those in power, they recalled the previous tradition and invented a constitutional maturity that did not exist and was not supported by adequate theoretical elaboration. This connection is recorded in the Dizionario politico-giovanile, published in Turin in 1849, which recognized how.
Any ID=”ITerm354” sovereignty that does not derive from the suffrage of the people is rationally illegitimate. And yet the pillars of despotism say, on the contrary, that legitimism is an attribute of sovereignty, which was not born of the people, but of divine right. More interesting is the definition of legitimacy contained in the Dizionario politico parlamentare.
These examples taken from the most important dictionaries of the time show how the conceptual entanglement is delicate and destined for an ambiguous overlap between the sovereignty of the people and monarchical principles, constituent body and royal prerogatives.
Political Catechisms
The ideas contained in the catechism bearing the names of Castelli and Briano were confirmed by and were readily discussed in the press. The famous professor remarked on the lexical inaccuracies contained in the popular work of Castelli and Briano. Albini specified that the idea that the sovereignty of the King is exercised by virtue of a contract is an old idea which has its matrix in the thought of Rousseau and which does not correspond to the constitutional experience of Piedmont, also because the contract not the only source of where to make obligations descend to the Crown.

Both authors collaborated with the ID=”ITerm385” Il Risorgimento and belong to the circle of ID=”ITerm386” Cavour. Costituzionale Subalpino 8, Thursday March 9.: «if, in constitutional monarchies, ID=”ITerm405” sovereignty, or else as our author says, the ID=”ITerm406” supreme judiciary, is possessed and exercised only by virtue of an agreement of a contract with the people, and only on certain conditions, the consequence, which inevitably and directly flows from it, is that if the monarch, on his part, does not fulfill the contract, does not comply with some of its clauses , he forfeits sovereignty, ID=”ITerm407” supreme court.

Newspapers
In the weeks that followed the promulgation of the constitutions and that preceded the opening of Parliament, the effort to populate the new representative regime was never neglected in the newspaper columns. 77 An example is Lezioni popolari sullo Statuto which appear in six issues of the newspaper. Indeed, the Italian constitutional charters (those of Tuscany, Naples and Piedmont), Bertinetti pointed out, did not provide, even knowing the Belgian model, any article for constitutional review, nor the necessary recourse to a constitutional assembly.
Throughout the long nineteenth century, constituent power was indeed marginalized for cultural reasons: the liberals identified in it the causes of the political instability that France was experiencing. Filipponeri Spanò noted that according to the traditional theoretical layout, the exercise of the constituent power is either in the persona of the sovereign who grants the charter, or in a national assembly of representatives elected by the people who have a special ad hoc- authority. and independent of the legislative branch. This gave rise to the following question in Italy: could changes to the articles of the statute be made through a
3 The “nation” represented: a pact between sovereign and people, the power of the constitution and politics.
Massimo D’Azeglio and the Defence of the Representative Government
Massimo D'Azeglio Tapanelli took over the leadership of the cabinet in one of the most dramatic moments of the period. According to the author, the people would suffer if the statute, born out of the ideas of nationality, were to be abandoned and, moreover, if the influence of the aristocracy were to be restored. In the government programme, D'Azeglio could better explain his own political beliefs and the trust that is in the constitutional regime.
In an attempt to defend representative government, D'Azeglio also sought the approval of foreign monarchies. In particular, D'Azeglio had the approval of the British government, which encouraged the Italian prime minister to continue along the constitutional path. I have promised to save the nation from party-political tyranny, whatever its name, its aim, the caliber of the people who make it up.
With the Moncalieri Proclamation and the return to the ballot box, Massimo D'Azeglio saved the representative government and guaranteed that it would be a long and prosperous one.
147 As Alberto Caracciolo perceived, during the process of national unification there was still the will to have the Parliament as the foundation of the national department. However, the longevity of the Statute contributed, if nothing else, to the legitimization of representative government. The above-mentioned assertions were first of all prompted by the observation of the French experience characterized by political-constitutional instability.
However, the unification process of 1859-1861 sharpened the old disagreements that arose as early as the day after the Union was granted. ID=”ITerm940” plebiscites, not only because of the previous democratic creators of the new order of things, but. The questions of the internal legal order related to constitutional principles can only be reformed by the explicit mandate of national sovereignty” (see ID=”ITerm942” Caracciolo, Alberto. Il Parlamento nella formazione del Regno d'Italia, cit., 277 ).
Legitimation went through plebiscites and a parliament in which the representatives of the new nation gathered.
In the first phase of the Albertine Statute we should rather speak of a "Royal Government". The theory of the "omnipotence of Parliament" is a corrective between the monarchical principle and the excesses of popular sovereignty. Moreover, the metaphor of the pact between sovereign and people contributed to the legitimization of the new constitutional regime.
There will be no ideal models to determine the organization and exercise of sovereign power. Personally, in the Italian movement ID=”ITerm997” Risorgimento, I used Woof's summary, Stuart J. Pierantoni accepted the rational distinction between legislative and constituent power, but the constituent power survived within the legislative power and the theory of the omnipotence of parliament agreed on the authorization of the legislature to change, modify and correct the provisions included in the articles.
In this context and under these conditions, we recognize that the parliament is "the only and comprehensive and permanent representation of national sovereignty", 167 "the authority of the parliament is absolute, unlimited, indefinite;.
Diversa è la storia della razionalizzazione del sistema, spesso lontana dalle aspettative degli intellettuali che devono confrontarsi con la realtà effettiva del Paese. Nella prima parte dell'elaborato vengono analizzati i significati dei termini “sovranità” e “governo rappresentativo” con l'ausilio di dizionari, del catechismo politico di Michelangelo Castelli e Brian, e di giornali. In Piemonte il Parlamento non rappresentava certo la sovranità popolare, essendo composto da un Senato nominato dalla dirigenza e da una Camera eletta mediante censimento.
Nei primi anni del governo rappresentativo si fece un'accurata pubblicità sulla forma di governo e sull'esercizio della sovranità. Infine, le riflessioni dottrinali sulla forma di governo rappresentativo non trovavano un'adeguata corrispondenza in termini di prassi istituzionale, ancora confusa e in via di perfezionamento. Una nuova fase di governo rappresentativo fu segnata dalla figura di Camillo Cavour, che credeva fortemente nella forma parlamentare.

Tuttavia, in un ordinamento costituzionale in continua evoluzione, la monarchia non poteva essere l’unico strumento giuridico per interpretare i sentimenti dell’opinione pubblica. È certo che da Cavour in poi si espresse chiaramente la convinzione che il Parlamento fosse interprete dell'opinione pubblica e che non si potesse governare senza il consenso di quest'ultima. Tuttavia non sono mancate le voci che hanno individuato i limiti del parlamentarismo; le critiche fluirono ininterrottamente fin dalla promulgazione dello Statuto e costituirono una costante nella storia costituzionale italiana.
