Olivier Le Cour Grandmaison, Non-citizens in the French Revolution
Several weeks after having adopted the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, the delegates to the constitutional convention legislated political inequality on the basis of taxes and property. Citizenship defined in this way excluded a number of social categories including « passive citizens » and black people. Tension between proclaimed principles and this legislation bears examination. Who were the « passive citizens », and why were they denied certain civil rights ? And why, in the very « tristes tropiques », was the institution of slavery maintained until 4 February 1794.
