Michèle Riot-Sarcey, The Community of Peers, or Democracy at Work
In the minds of the delegates to the constitutional convention who formulated the declaration of rights, indivisible sovereignty was possible only among free and equal men or peers. Liberty in the civic sense of the term meant to be able to partake of sovereignty to the same extent as national representatives. Two traditions, liberal and republican, contributed to the realization of these principles. Each tended to forge a community of equal men. One led citizens to liberty, the other to fraternity and service to the Nation State. But the liberty of individuals was forgotten. Because they are different, throughout the Nineteenth Century women were able to unmask the mystifications of this form of democracy. Only they understood the real meaning of republican principles.
