A French politician he was one of the most prominent figures of the Revolution and the most brilliant speaker of the Constituent Assembly. He had a very difficult relationship with his father and led a life of debauchery where he accumulated many debts. To get out of these debts he was locked up in prison by letters of seal at the request of his father on several occasions. Mirabeau wrote the Lettres de cachet in the dungeon of Vincennes where he remained locked up for three and a half years at the same time as the Marquis de Sade. An eloquent work in which he vigorously denounced the abuses of arbitrary power Les Lettres de cachet is a veritable indictment beginning with a history of French criminal law; Mirabeau goes on to denounce violently the organization of the prison administration at the end of the Old Régime. "Des Lettres de cachet' is not only an eloquent protest against despotism a warm advocacy in favor of individual freedom but also a real work of scholarship filled with historical examples and which implies immense reading". Barbier. "It is by history and by reason that Mirabeau fights against arbitrary detentions" P. Negrin. "Des Lettres de cachet deserves great praise. The principles of natural law the basis of all society and all civilization are exposed and developed with as much force as clarity. Mirabeau already shows himself to be a great publicist and the writer gives a foretaste of the orator". A. de Montor.
