[edit] women's right to vote
Can anyone provide a source for the statement that the Constitution gave women the right to vote? I don't see it in Dorothy Carrington's 1973 article, "The Corsican Constitution of Pasquale Paoli."

[edit] Needs a rework
I don't have time for every last Corsican article but right off the top of my head I can see a big anachronism. It is not that Paoli was especially influenced by many of these revolutionary philosophes, such as Rousseau, no indeed. That fails to grasp the time vector and the true significance. Paoli thought of these things FIRST and staged the FIRST revolution (except for the English, which was long ago now). He preceded most of them; so; it is not that he was influenced by them. He was not a philosophe, instead the philosophes were Paolists. Most of that revolutionary thinking was not theirs it was his. I note that the article lacks refs. It needs more research with refs with attention to accuracy. You can't just repeat the Internet blats, which are just repeating other blats, you have to check everything out. Otherwise why bother?Dave (talk) 22:58, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
