Coup d'état in the Batavian Republic
- When
- 1801
- Where
- The Hague (inferred institutional context: seat of government)
A coup d'état in 1801 established an authoritarian regime in the Batavian Republic after constitutional changes, replacing democratic governance.
The coup d'état put an authoritarian regime in power following another change to the constitution. The 'democrats' were replaced by Patriot regents who had no patience with democracy, and by old Orangist regents who benefited from a convenient amnesty proclaimed in early 1801. No passage states the coup's specific site; The Hague is treated only as the inferred institutional context, being the seat of government where the French ambassador was posted in 1799.
