In this article, Antonio Sarubbi examines how three Italian thinkers of the Enlightenment period—G.M. Galanti, M. Delfico, M. Pagano—and the Neopolitan Jacobin, V. Russo, sought to solve the problems of establishing representative government in a form which would both ensure the rights and liberties of the citizen, while preserving an ordered society and the rights of property. They are shown as a second generation of Enlightenment thinkers who were prepared to tackle the questions, largely ignored by the French philosophes, of how progressive ideas could be implemented in the context of the actual societies that existed in the late eighteenth century.
