Biography
He studied medicine in Lyon and Paris, served as a military doctor in Algeria. After moving to Paris, he joined Louis Blanca and declared himself a brilliant speaker at Société des saison and other meetings. Compromised in the riots on May 18, 1848, he was arrested, but released for lack of evidence and was elected by an overwhelming majority to the National Assembly, where he joined the mountain party. On November 6, 1849, he signed an offer to Ledru-Rollin to bring Louis Napoleon, the President of the Republic, to trial for violation of the constitution.
On the day of the coup d'état of December 2, 1851, Boden was one of the few who signed the appeal to the people. The next day, December 3, Bodin, along with 12 other deputies, was in the suburbs of Saint-Antoine and tried to call on the people to defend the constitution and the Republic and to violently resist the coup d’état, but when one of the women present responded to him: we will kill you so that you can save your 25-francs deputy salary? ", Boden said:" You will now see how they die for 25 francs "- and, having risen to the barricade, was killed by rifle salvo.
At the cemetery of Montmartre, he erected a monument, and his grave in recent years, the Second Empire became a place of annual pilgrimage and republican demonstrations. One of these manifestations (1868) was the basis of a loud trial, known as “The Boden Cases”, in which Gambetta, in his brilliant defense of the accused Delecluse, began his bold and merciless campaign against the Second Empire. In 1889, the remains of Bodin were reburied in the Paris Pantheon .
