Jacques Antoine Marie de Cazalès

Jacques Antoine Marie de Cazalès (February 1, 1758 – November 24, 1805) is a French orator and politician.

Cazalès was born at Grenade, Haute-Garonne to a family of the lower nobility.

With his father as an adviser to the parliament of Toulouse, Cazalès undertakes a career in the military, becoming captain of the dragoons at the age of twenty-one.

In this political career, he proves to be a devout representative of the right, becoming the elected deputy of the nobility for the Verdun countries.

His rightist ideals and orations make him political enemies, such as Barnarve, who scars Cazalès in a duel.

As a moderate conservative, Cazalès favors an intermediate system of government, between absolute and constitutional monarchy.

Cazalès also tried to found a conservative-liberal party, along with Mirabeau.

His son, Edmond de Cazalès, writes philosophical and religious studies.
