He then discusses the American experiment with the development of representative democracy, as well as the French Revolution, which proclaimed that all people are born and remain free and with equal rights. But progress on the creation and protection of rights for all has been uneven. Stourzh discusses specifically the equalisation of slaves, peasants, women, Jews, and indigenous people. He demonstrates how deeply intertwined the protection of equal rights is with the development of democracy and gives particular attention to the development of constitutional adjudication, notably the constitutional complaint of individuals. He also discusses the international protection human rights. 410 0$aChicago scholarship online. 606 $aEquality before the law 606 $aCivil rights 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aDemocracy 615 0$aEquality before the law. 615 0$aCivil rights. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aDemocracy. 676 $a342.085 700 $aStourzh$b Gerald$0232656 702 $aPeck-Kubaczek$b Cynthia 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910554260703321 996 $aModern Isonomy$92820029 997 $aUNINA
