ap european history: french revolution radical phase - primary source document packet
document 1: declaration of the rights of man and citizen from the constitution of year i (1793)
\the french people, convinced that forgetfulness and contempts of the natural rights of man are the sole
causes of the miseries of the world, have resolved to set forth in a solemn declaration these sacred and
inalienable rights, in order that all the citizens, being able to compare unceasingly the acts of the government
with the aim of every social institution, may never allow themselves to be oppressed and debased by tyranny;
and in order that the people may always have before their eyes the foundations of their liberty and their
welfare, the magistrate the rule of his duties, the legislator the purpose of his commission.
in consequence, it proclaims in the presence of the supreme being deist god the following declaration of the
rights of man and citizen.

1. the aim of society is the common welfare. government is instituted in order to guarantee to man the

enjoyment of his natural and imprescriptible rights.

1. these rights are equality, liberty, security, and property.
2. all men are equal by nature and before the law.
3. law is the free and solemn expression of the general will; it is the same for all, whether it protects or

punishes; it can command only what is just and useful to society; it can forbid only what is injurious to it.

1. all citizens are equally eligible to public employments. free peoples know no other grounds for preference

in their elections than virtue and talent.

1. liberty is the power that belongs to man to do whatever is not injurious to the rights of others; it has nature

for its principle, justice for its rule, law for its defense; its moral limit is in this maxim: do not do to another
that which you do not wish should be done to you.

1. the right to express ones thoughts and opinions by means of the press or in any other manner, the right to

assemble peaceably, the free pursuit of religion, cannot be forbidden.
the necessity of enunciating these rights supposes either the presence or the fresh recollection of despotism.

1. security consists in the protection afforded by society to each of its members for the preservation of his

person, his rights, and his property.

1. the law ought to protect public and personal liberty against the oppression of those who govern.
2. no one ought to be accused, arrested, or detained except in the cases determined by law and according to

the forms that it has prescribed. any citizen summoned or seized by the authority of the law, ought to obey
immediately; he makes himself guilty by resistance.

1. any act done against man outside of the cases and without the forms that the law determines is arbitrary

and tyrannical; the one against whom it may be intended to be executed by violence has the right to repel it by
force.

1. those who may incite, expedite, subscribe to, execute or cause to be executed arbitrary legal instruments

are guilty and ought to be punished.
