I'll get another round posted later tonight. I can promise it will be much more chill than my last one...

 Yes! Congratulations!
That was a helpful hint.

 Born on or after January 1, 1700?
Yes.

Hint: Sometimes people don't stay in the country they were born in. Also, I believe there's one question that hasn't been followed up on- maybe look into that!

If you don't make more significant progress by Question 19 you may expect another hint.

Head of state and/or head of government?
It was already asked if he was a head of state (he is not). In case you want to rephrase your question.
Good catch. Scratch the question then.

I wish people would stop asking if the person is a head of state though, without also asking if they're a head of government.
Well, as a free hint I can tell you that he was neither a head of state nor a head of government. Question duly scratched.

 For my actual question: was this person ever in a national legislative body, such as a parliament?
He was indeed.

 I beg for clarification of an earlier question/answer. I asked if he was a "military leader or revolutionary". QM answered "No." I intended "military leader" and "revolutionary" to be separate, but realize the adjective "military" might have been applied to both, such that you answered "No" to "military revolutionary", but might have answered yes to a broader definition of revolutionary.

Would this person be described as a political revolutionary, even if not a military one?

I intend this as a clarification, not a question. But if QM in your wisdom judge it to be a question, don't answer it. I won't waste one of the team's questions on this.
I answered the question as you intended to ask it. He is not usually described as a revolutionary.

 Does this person have anything named after them?

Be it a sports arena, a college, a type of spoon, a country, a dish, or anything else.
As a matter of fact, he has several things named after him. I'm positive you've heard of at least one of them.

The next question will be question 19. Hopefully we get some yes's :(

1,3,5,6,7. Real dead male human being born in 1851 or earlier

2,4,8,12. Born in Europe, but not in UK*, France, Monaco, Switzerland, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, or Luxembourg

11: Not a native Romance-language speaker.

9,10: Not primarily a writer, head of state, or scientist in the field(s) of chemistry, biology, or physics; not an actor, comedian, or musician.

*Probably some Brit will come along and explain to me why "UK" does not equal "Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and England".
