[82] The _cahier_ of the nobility of the bailliage of Aumont asked: “Que l’ancienne constitution française est monarchique, que les lois fondamentales du royaume subsisteront dans leur intégrité et qu’elles ne pourront être changées par les députés aux États généraux, Que la formation des États généraux fait partie de la constitution.”... _Arch. Parl._, i, 766. Somewhat similar views are found in the _cahiers_ of the clergy of Lectoure, _Ibid._, ii, 66; of the clergy of Auten, ii, 100; of the clergy of Aval, ii, 137; of the clergy of Carcassonne, ii, 257; of the clergy of Blois, ii, 376; of the nobility of Guyenne, ii, 394; of the clergy of Châlons-sur-Marne, ii, 582; of the clergy of Clermont-Ferrand, ii, 766; of the third estate of Comte de Comminges, iii, 26; of the nobility of Constances, iii, 52; of the clergy of Etampes, iii, 279; of the nobility of Libourne, iii, 506; of the nobility of Timoux, iii, 577; of the nobility of Mâcon, iii, 623; of the nobility of Gevaudan, iii, 754; of the third estate of the parish of Ferrières en Brie, iv, 545; of the nobility of Provins and Monterau, v, 448; of the nobility of Touraine, vi, 39; of the clergy of Vermandois, vi, 134; of the clergy of Villers-Catterels, vi, 187; of the clergy of Vitry le François, vi, 207; of the nobility of Besançon, vi, 516. Some wished to re-establish in more definite terms the old constitution. The _cahier_ of the clergy of Auxerre asked: “Que les États généraux s’occuperont d’abord de reconnaître, conserver, fixer irrévocablement, et rendre publiques les lois constitutionnelles de la monarchie, les droits du Roi et ceux de la nation,” ii, 111.
