TAILIEUCHUNG - THE DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF MAN AND OF CITIZENS

The declaration of "the rights of man and of citizens" by the French Constituent Assembly on August 26, 1789, is one of the most significant events of the French Revolution. It has been criticised from different points of view with directly opposing results. The political scientist and the historian, thoroughly appreciating its importance, have repeatedly come to the conclusion that the Declaration had no small part in the anarchy with which France was visited soon after the storming of the Bastille. They point to its abstract phrases as ambiguous and therefore dangerous, and as void of all political reality. | THE DECLARATION OF THE RIGHTS OF MAN AND OF CITIZENS A Contribution to Modern Constitutional History BY GEORG JELLINEK Dr. Phil.

Although several years have elapsed since this essay was published Pg iii it has apparently come to the attention of only a few specialists and those almost exclusively in modern European history.
