1811 (The Call for Universal Reunion): The Council of State appealed to the “happy people of beauteous Hayti” to reunite around the new constitution and forget the divisions of the past. They maintained that the establishment of the monarchy was a “tribute of love” from the nation to a leader who had successfully navigated the storms of revolution. By centering the national identity on the King and his faithful nobles, the government hoped to create a “permanent duration” for the state’s prosperity. The proclamation emphasized that every citizen had a stake in the “fundamental bases” of the kingdom they had collectively erected. This call for unity was presented as the final step in securing the nation’s independence for future generations.
