Question

1. every man being presumed innocent until he has been pronounced guilty, if it is thought indispensable to arrest him, all severity that may not be necessary to secure his person ought to be strictly repressed by law. 14. no one ought to be tried and punished except after having been heard or legally summoned, and except in virtue of a law promulgated prior to the offense. the law which would punish offenses committed before it existed would be a tyranny: the retroactive effect given to the law would be a crime. 15. the law ought to impose only penalties that are strictly and obviously necessary: the punishments ought to be proportionate to the offense and useful to society. 16. the right of property is that which belongs to every citizen to enjoy, and to dispose at his pleasure of his goods, income, and of the fruits of his labor and his skill. 17. no kind of labor, tillage, or commerce can be forbidden to the skill of the citizens. 18. every man can contract his services and his time, but he cannot sell himself nor be sold: his person is not an alienable property. the law knows of no such thing as the status of servant; there can exist only a contract for services and compensation between the man who works and the one who employs him. 19. no one can be deprived of the least portion of his property without his consent, unless a legally established public necessity requires it, and upon condition of a just and prior compensation. 20. no tax can be imposed except for the general advantage. all citizens have the right to participate in the establishment of taxes, to watch over the employment of them, and to cause an account of them to be rendered. 21. public relief is a sacred debt. society owes maintenance to unfortunate citizens, either procuring work for them or in providing the means of existence for those who are unable to labor. 22. education is needed by all. society ought to favor with all its power the advancement of the public reason and to put education at the door of every citizen. 23. the social guarantee consists in the action of all to secure to each the enjoyment and the maintenance of his rights: this guarantee rests upon the national sovereignty. 24. it cannot exist if the limits of public functions are not clearly determined by law and if the responsibility of all the functionaries is not secured. 25. the sovereignty resides in the people; it is one and indivisible, imprescriptible, and inalienable. 26. no portion of the people can exercise the power of the entire people, but each section of the sovereign, in assembly, ought to enjoy the right to express its will with entire freedom. 27. let any person who may usurp the sovereignty be instantly put to death by free men. 28. a people has always the right to review, to reform, and to alter its constitution. one generation cannot subject to its law the future generations. 29. each citizen has an equal right to participate in the formation of the law and in the selection of his mandatories or his agents.
