Question

Would you agree with view that message of universal rights was beset with contradictions? Explain

Answer 1

Explanation:

Yes, the message of universal rights was beset with

contradictions. Though it laid emphasis on the three fundamental principles of liberty, equality and fraternity, it is

a great contribution of France to the world. But philosophers like Marat

and journalists such as Camike Desmoulins have cautioned not to take the

different rights to the extreme since they give foul smell or taste sour.

(i) The Women challenged the Declaration of Rights

for discrimination on the basis of sex.

(ii) Jean Paul Marat criticized the right to

represent the people given in the Constitution as it was available to only rich; poor and oppressed were deprived of this

right.

(iii) Desmoulins criticized the Reign of Terror for

keeping the liberty under discipline before it attains maturity.

(iv) My right of liberty does not mean that I should finish off all my enemies.

Answer 2

The message of universal rights was beset with contradictions--

• Many ideals in the "Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizens" were replete with dubious meanings. For example, "the law has the right to forbid only actions injurious to society" had nothing to say about the criminal offences against other individuals.

• The declaration stated that "law is expression of the general will. All citizens have the right to participate in it. All citizens are equal before this.
