“…18 In so doing, they have stressed this so-called Age of Revolutions as "a period of change so breathtaking that it forever changed people's perceptions of the relationship between past, present and future" and that "writings of the period testify to a heightened awareness of change". 19 It is this awareness that typifies what Richard Terdiman has termed a "memory crisis"; the rupture of the conscious link between the present's connection to the past. 20 Yet scholars who point to the late eighteenth century as a unique moment of "memory crisis" have failed to consider evidence from the period before 1800.…”

Following the Brabant Revolution and the declaration of independence of the Southern Netherlands, Vienna made a series of constitutional assurances to the rebels while at the same time preparing to recover the region by force. In December 1790, these promises culminated in the Convention of The Hague, in which Emperor Leopold ii -under allied pressure -pledged to restore the ancient constitutions of the Southern Netherlands, which led to constitutional debates among the rebellious provinces. This article examines why the imperial commitments did not placate the estates of the leading provinces, Flanders and Brabant. The Flemish Estates grasped the opportunity to draft their own constitutional charter; Brabant primarily pursued additional safeguards to protect its charter, the Joyous Entry. I argue that these debates chiefly reflect the language of ancient constitutionalism and in essence served conservative goals even as actual circumstances compelled the estates to integrate innovative concepts in their reasoning. Moreover, these debates are very telling for the constitutional sensitivities in the separate Southern Netherlandish regions. Embedded as they were in specific regional constitutional traditions, these debates produced different outcomes in Flanders and Brabant.
