The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of Citizens

A Contribution to Modern Constitutional History

EXCERPT:

The following essay originated in connection with a larger work upon which Georde Jellinek was engaged for sometime. May it assist in strengthening the conviction that the ideas expressed in the law of the modem 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 institutions themselves that stretches itself over the whole field of our civilized life!

– G. J., June 23, 1895
