Description
In 1989, on the occasion of the Bicentennial of the French Revolution, I gave a talk at Suffolk University Law School on The Distinction Between Man and the Citizen in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen of 1789. (1) In retrospect, I am afraid that this may not have been one of my best talks. The truth of the matter is that I failed to give the rationale for this crucial distinction and its meaning in the Declaration of 1789. I said that the distinction was almost invisible in this country and much less important than in the French legal system, but I did not explain why. Today, thanks to the research I did to write my most recent book, Introduction to Public Law: A Comparative Study, (2) I am in a better position to indicate why the distinction between Man and the Citizen really matters in French law. The reason lies in the distinction between public law and private law that structures the French legal system.
