    No fewer than 23 public law theses on proportional representation and electoral reform were defended between 1885 and 1923, but Besson's is the third chronologically. "Where the Toulouse student [Édouard Campagnole] was content to consider the mechanisms for forming the majority and minority under proportional representation, A. Besson delves separately and meticulously into the different systems for forming lists, the nature of the vote cast according to the type of list, and finally the various mathematical methods for counting votes and seats. He then links his argument to the political necessity for the Third Republic to adopt proportional representation 'here and now.' Above all, A. Besson's thesis, like that of N. Saripolos in 1900, appears as a valuable doctrinal resource that can circulate among professors themselves in order to reassess their respective positions on constitutional matters." It is in this perspective that the thesis directed by Mr. Deslandres explicitly allowed his former colleague from Dijon and friend R. Saleilles to produce the first substantial article of constitutional doctrine from a long account of the work of A. Besson which therefore corresponds in every respect to the historicist perspective defended by his two Dijon masters. » (Thomas Marty, Revue d'Histoire des Sciences Humaines, Éd. Sciences humaines, 2011, p. 265 et seq.).
