• Resumen

  • From the seventeenth to the nineteenth century, from John Locke to Victor Hugo, some of the best minds in Europe were preoccupied with the idea of “good government” that should, in a situation of peace, contribute to the establishment of a “United States of Europe”, much in the same line as writers such as Castel de Saint-Pierre, Rousseau and Kant had expressed in their times. A day will come when those two immense groups, the United States of America, and the USA of Europe, shall be seen placed in presence of each other, extending the hand of fellowship across the ocean. Victor Hugo at the International Peace Congress in Paris (1849).
