'''Édouard René Lefèbvre de Laboulaye''' ({{IPA-fr|edwaʁ ʁəne ləfɛvʁ də labulɛ}}; 18 January 1811 – 25 May 1883) was a French [[jurist]], poet, author and [[abolitionism in France|anti-slavery]] activist.
== Life ==
Laboulaye was received at the bar in 1842, and was chosen professor of [[comparative law]] at the [[Collège de France]] in 1849. Following the [[Paris Commune]] of 1870, he was elected to the national assembly, representing the [[Seine (department)|departement of the Seine]]. As secretary of the committee of thirty on the constitution he was effective in combatting the Monarchists in establishing the [[French Third Republic|Third Republic]]. In 1875, he was elected a [[Senator for life (France)|life senator]], and in 1876 he was appointed administrator of the Collège de France, resuming his lectures on comparative legislation in 1877. Laboulaye was also chairman of the French Anti-Slavery Society<ref name="Khan" /> and president of the [[Société d'économie politique]].<ref name="MayeurCorbin1995">{{citation|last1=Mayeur|first1=Jean Marie|last2=Corbin|first2=Alain|last3=Schweitz|first3=Arlette|title=Les immortels du Sénat, 1875-1918: les cent seize inamovibles de la Troisième République|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5zkliher7YAC&pg=PA366|accessdate=2017-08-18|year=1995|publisher=Publications de la Sorbonne|isbn=978-2-85944-273-6|
Always a careful observer of the politics of the United States, and an admirer of its constitution, he wrote a three-volume work on the political history of the United States, and published it in Paris during the height of the politically repressed [[French Second Empire|Second Empire]]. During the [[American Civil War]], he was a zealous advocate of the [[Union (American Civil War)|Union]] cause and the [[Abolitionism in the United States|abolition of slavery]], publishing histories of the cultural connections of the two nations. At the war's conclusion in 1865, he became president of the French Emancipation Committee that aided newly freed slaves in the U.S.<ref name="Khan">Khan, Yasmin Sabina (2010) [https://books.google.com/books?id=9jknw1Av-R4C
