Explanation:
the message of Universal rights was beset with contradictions. many ideals in the "Declaration of Rights of man and citizens " were not clear in their meanings e. g. (i)the law has the right to forbid only action injurious to society" did not mention about criminal offences against other individual
Question: Would you agree with the view that the message of universal rights was beset with contradictions? Explain.
Answer: Yes, the message of universal rights was beset with contradictions:
◼Law is the expression of the general will. All citizens have the right to participate in its formation, personally or through their representatives. It means that every citizen has the right to participate in the law however only men above 25 years of age who paid taxes equal to at least 3 days of a laborer's wage were given voting right. The remaining men and all women were classed as passive citizens and were deprived of voting rights.
◼Hence, the message of universal rights was not very clear.
◼The Constitution is only available for the rich.
◼Women were totally neglected in decision making.
