Excerpt from La Soci???t??? Fran???aise du Xviie Si???cle: Lectures Extraites des M???moires Et des Correspondances Que fallait - il de plus pour donner ??? la France une confiance en soi qu'elle n'avaitjamais eue ??? un pareil degr???? Fort de ce sentiment, Richelieu ne manque rien de ce qui peut affermir le pouvoir royal. Il dote le pays d'institutions administratives qui aboutissent ??? la cour et re???oivent directement d'elle l'impulsion n???cessaire pour agir. Ll modifie le conseil d'etat de fa???on ??? en faire le corps administratif par excellence de la monarchie, et il cr???e les intendants, c'est-??? - dire des fonctionnaires qui, sous couleur de finances et n'appartenant ??? aucune branche de l'administration, repr???sent???rent dans les provinces le pouvoir ex???cutif et contr???l???rent en son nom tous les ressorts de la vie publique. Le peuple ne perdit pas au changement, mais la noblesse en fut atteinte. Elle protesta vaine ment et Richelieu vint ??? bout de sa r???sistance, comme il r???ussit ??? dompter les r???form???s, par le fer et par le feu. Ceux - ci s'???taient solidement organis???s pour conserver les franchises qui leur avaient ???t??? octroy???es sous le pr??? c???dent r???gne; ces pr???cautions ne leur servirent qu'a rendre leur d???fense plus prolong???e et plus h???ro???que il fallut se soumettre quand m???me, car la politique du cardinal-ministro ne voulait pas souffrir un ???tat dans l'???tat.
