of this treatise outlines Guizot's concerns regarding the threats posed to justice by political interference. He introduces the idea that during politically tumultuous times, the judicial system may come under pressure to align itself with political motives, leading to potential miscarriages of justice. Guizot emphasizes the need for a clear separation between judicial authority and political power, cautioning against the dangers that arise when political interests encroach upon the impartiality of justice. By framing his discourse around historical and contemporary examples, he sets the stage for a deeper examination of these critical issues in the chapters to follow.
