Excerpt from The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of Citizens: A Contribution to Modern Constitutional History
The following essay has originated in connection with a larger work upon which I have been engaged for some time. May it assist in strengthening the conviction that the ideas expressed in the law of the modern state are to be comprehended not alone through the history of the literature and the development of the conceptions of right, but above all through that history of the institu tions themselves that stretches itself over the whole field of our civilized life!

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, tracing its lineage back to the bills of rights created by the individual American states during the lead up to the American Revolutionary War. It argues that the American Revolution provided a context in which ideas about natural rights could find political expression and legal form. However, rather than being a product of European Enlightenment thought, the author argues that the American declarations were part of a broader evolution of ideas about the relationship between the individual and the state that had been developing in Anglo-American legal thought since the middle ages. This book will be of interest to scholars of legal and constitutional history, as well as political theory. It sheds light on the historical development of human rights and their significance as an integral part of constitutional government.
