René Gallissot, The French Revolution at the limits of Human Rights
The three major revolutionary declarations were of liberal inspiration. That of 1789 proclamed citizenship but excluded women, the colonized populations, subordinate classes, and the homeless. In stark contrast to the declaration of 1793, the declaration of 1795 was the first not to be emancipatory, but rather conservative in regards to duties and public morality. Most basically, the rights of man had to be national in character, in the same way political thought today oscillates between citizenship and nationality. In 1989, the commemoration of only the declaration of 1789 was, in effect, an appeal to national consensus. The Bicentennial celebration tended to substitute formal universalism and patriotism for the internationalist conception of human rights that is truely emancipatory of men and women as the real subjects of history.
