This book explores the constitutional debates of the Year 3 of the
French Revolution (also known as Year 1 of the French Republic) and
the drafts for the Declaration and the Constitution of 1793. It
presents the revolutionaries' distinct view on human rights and the
rights of the peoples, as well as their philosophical
underpinnings. After discussing how contemporary legal history and
theory, and political philosophy approached the revolutionary
period, the book tackles the main topics covered during the debates
and proposals. Starting with the issue of external relations and
the sovereignty of the people and ending with natural rights and
Republicanism, this book shows how apparently technical questions
(such as what procedure should be implemented to declare a war) are
intertwined with philosophical reflections on rights and with
problems that were urgent at the time.
