He was reelected in 1658, 1663 and 1668, and held office until his death in 1672. During this period of nineteen years the general conduct of public affairs and administration, and especially of foreign affairs, such was the confidence inspired by his talents and industry, was largely placed in his hands. He found in 1653 his country brought to the brink of ruin through the war with England, which had been caused by the keen commercial rivalry of the two maritime states. The Dutch were unprepared, and suffered severely through the loss of their carrying trade, and De Witt resolved to bring about peace as soon as possible. The first demands of Oliver Cromwell were impossible, for they aimed at the absorption of the two republics into a single state, but at last in the autumn of 1654 peace was concluded, by which the Dutch made large concessions and agreed to the striking of the flag to English ships in the narrow seas. The treaty included a secret article, which the states-general refused to entertain, but which De Witt succeeded in inducing the states of Holland to accept, by which the provinces of Holland pledged themselves not to elect a stadtholder or a captain-general of the union. This Act of Seclusion, as it was called, was aimed at the young prince of Orange, whose close relationship to the Stuarts made him an object of suspicion to the Protector. De Witt was personally favorable to this exclusion of William III from his ancestral dignities, but there is no truth in the suggestion that he prompted the action of Cromwell in this matter.

Your browser does not support javascript, go to the JAVA site to download and install Java Your browser does not support script Back to: My Hometown Dordrecht Johan de Witt Johan de Witt was born at Dordrecht , into a family of prosperous merchants and lawyers. De Witt was a member of one of the old burgher-regent families of his native town of Dordrecht (Dort). His father, Jacob, was six times burgomaster and for many years sat for the town in the States of Holland. He was a strenuous adherent of the republican or oligarchical states-right party in opposition to the princes of the House of Orange, who represented the federal principle and had the support of the masses of the people. Johan attended Beeckman's school in Dordrecht, then in 1641 he entered the University of Leiden to study law together with his older brother Cornelius. At university he showed remarkable talents, especially in mathematics and law. His Elementa curvarum linearum (written before 1650, but published 1659-1661) was one of the first textbooks in analytic geometry. Further he wrote "The Worth of Life Annuities Compared to Redemption Bonds" which applied probability to questions of state finance. He later also applied his mathematical knowledge to the financial and budgetary problems of the republic. In 1645 Johan and his elder brother Cornelius visited France, Italy, Switzerland and England, then on his return Johan lived at The Hague as an advocate. He received a doctorate in law from University of Angers in 1645. De Witt was an associate of van Schooten and lived for a while in his house. His most important work Elementa curvarum linearum (1659-61) was written before 1650, and was the first systematic development of the analytic geometry of the straight line and conic. It was published by van Schooten as part of his edition of Descartes' Géometrie (1660). The word directrix is due to de Witt.

Beducht voor machtige Oranjes Johan de Witt (1625 - 1672) Johan de Witt werd in 1625 in Dordrecht geboren als tweede zoon uit een oud regentengeslacht. De familie De Witt vormde een hecht gezin. De beide zonen, Cornelis en Johan, werden in 1641 naar Leiden gestuurd om rechten te studeren. Behalve in rechten was de jonge Johan ook zeer geïnteresseerd in wiskunde. Na drie jaar studie gingen de beide jonge heren met hun vader Jacob mee op een diplomatieke reis naar Denemarken en Zweden. Hierna maakten ze nog een twee jaar durende rondreis door Frankrijk en Engeland om hun opvoeding te voltooien. Terug in Nederland vestigde Johan de Witt zich als advocaat in Den Haag. In 1650 werd hij, 25 jaar oud op dat moment, benoemd tot pensionaris van de stad Dordrecht. Zo kwam hij terecht in de Staten van Holland, waar hij al snel opviel door zijn scherpe geest. Toen stadhouder Willem II in november 1650 plotseling stierf aan waterpokken was zijn erfzoon (de latere Willem III) nog niet geboren. In januari 1651 kwam in Den Haag de zogenoemde Grote Vergadering van regenten uit de gewesten bijeen die zich moest buigen over de vraag wie Willem II zou moeten opvolgen. Besloten werd geen opvolger aan te wijzen: het begin van het Eerste Stadhouderloze Tijdperk dat tot 1672 zou duren. De Staten van Holland benoemden in 1653 de jonge, slimme Johan de Witt als raadpensionaris. Hij trad aan in een periode waarin de Republiek de hoogtijdagen van haar macht en rijkdom beleefde. Op de Dam in Amsterdam verrees een nieuw Stadhuis, kunstenaars als Rembrandt en Vermeer schilderden hun nog altijd wereldberoemde doeken. De Republiek kreeg intussen ook in toenemende mate last van twee vijanden: Engeland en Frankrijk. Engeland zuchtte onder de dictatuur voor Oliver Cromwell en beleefde daarna allerlei intriges rondom (protestantse en katholieke) koningen. In Frankrijk begon omstreeks 1660 de imperialistische Lodewijk XIV (de 'Zonnekoning') zich te roeren. Johan de Witt probeerde met beide mogendheden op goede voet te blijven, wat het meest gunstig was voor de handel. Maar zo eenvoudig was dat niet.

Van 1647 tot 1650 oefende hij een advocatenpraktijk uit te Den Haag. In 1650 werd De Witt pensionaris van Dordrecht. Drie jaar later werd hij benoemd tot raadpensionaris van Holland. Tijdens het Eerste Stadhouderloze Tijdperk (1653-72) was De Witt raadpensionaris van Holland en daardoor de invloedrijkste persoon in de Nederlanden. De Witt stond pal voor de autonomie van de in de Unie verbonden zeven gewesten. De belangengemeenschap van een regentenkaste achtte hij een waarborg voor de rust in de staat. Hij trachtte de functies in kringen van regering, justitie en financiën te bemannen met geestverwanten, die veelal ook zijn bloed- of aanverwanten waren. Hiervoor kreeg hij steun uit de Amsterdamse regentenwereld. Hij was echter lang blind voor de weerstand, die hij opriep bij een aantal aan het Oranjehuis verknochte families. Persoonlijke baatzucht was nooit de reden voor zijn staatkundige gedragingen, maar wel gebruikte hij bestuurlijke en ambtelijke relaties soms ter versterking van zijn eigen vermogenspositie en dat gaf steeds meer aanleiding tot verdachtmakingen.
