Abstract

The inclusion of duties in the French revolutionary “Declaration of Rights” gave rise to a harsh discussion. Such a tradition seemed indeed opposite to the one of natural rights adopted by those Declarations, and nevertheless, a lot of projects including “citizen’s duties” were published at that time, proving the coexistence and synthesis of liberal and republican political discourses.
