The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of Citizens: Origins of Human Rights in Revolution, Religion, and Comparative Constitutional Law - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
In The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of Citizens, Georg Jellinek offers a concise but influential study of one of modern constitutionalism's foundational texts. Against accounts that derive the French Declaration chiefly from Rousseau or abstract Enlightenment speculation, Jellinek situates it within a broader transatlantic and religious history, emphasizing the American state declarations of rights and struggles for liberty of conscience. The work is written in a juridical-historical style: compressed, argumentative, and comparative, characteristic of late nineteenth-century German Staatslehre. Jellinek, a leading public-law scholar associated with Vienna and Heidelberg, brought to the subject his lifelong concern with the nature of the state, sovereignty, and subjective public rights. His major theoretical project sought to explain how legal personality and individual claims could exist within state authority. This intellectual background helps explain his interest in tracing rights not merely as philosophical ideals but as historically embodied legal forms. This book is recommended to readers interested in the origins of human rights, constitutional history, and the genealogy of modern liberalism. Even where later scholarship has revised Jellinek's claims, his essay remains indispensable for understanding the debate over whether rights are born from philosophy, religion, revolution, or law.
