[Memorandum.—Draft of the programmatic platform of the Anti-Revolutionary Party.]
In: Met gesterkte handen. Rede ter opening van de Deputaten-vergadering, gehouden te Utrecht op 3 April 1929 door H. Colijn.
Amsterdam, N.V. Dagblad en Drukkerij De Standaard [1929], pp. [34]–37, [38]–43.
Published: April 1929.
Memorandum, see also: 1992.01 (app. 9).
Draft of the programmatic platform of the Anti-Revolutionary Party, see: 1878.01.

In this memorandum and an accompanying letter (dated Amsterdam, February 4, 1874), Kuyper gave an account to Groen van Prinsterer of what he would see as his mission and program in the Second Chamber were he to accept his election to Parliament (see 1874.03). The Anti-Revolutionaries still lacked a political program and therefore Kuyper presented this piece (see 1937.01, pp. 278-282; 1992.01, pp. 735-738) to their leader for his opinion.

H. Colijn included the memorandum as the first appendix to the printed version of his 1929 speech to the deputies of the Anti-Revolutionary Electoral Associations because its programmatic statement and declaration of principles, which received in broad strokes the approval of Groen van Prinsterer, can be called the precursor to Kuyper’s draft for the party program of 1878. In the second appendix the 1878 draft is printed in two columns—with one column indicating the adopted changes.
