Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Jewish Rights at International Congresses Largely influenced by this practical and just American precedent and the teachings of great thinkers like Rousseau, Voltaire, Jefferson, Madison, Mirabeau, Abbe Gregoire, Paine, and Dohm, the French Revolution, in its early stages, emancipated the Jews in France, and greatly ameliorated their condition in territories conquered by Napoleon, and particularly in Holland, Italy, and various German states, and formulated in unmistakable terms the principles of religious liberty as fundamental rights of man. In almost the identical language employed by Jefferson and Madison, during the decade beginning in 1776, Mirabeau, in 1787, and Talleyrand, in 1792, protested that the term "toleration" should be discarded, as inadequate to express the fundamental, natural right to liberty of conscience. How deeply nations were then already interlinked in disseminating such views is indicated by the fact that Dohm´s famous work, "Ueber die Bürgerliche Verbesserung der Juden" (1781), was prepared by this Prussian Christian statesman at the suggestion of Moses Mendelssohn, as an aid toward ameliorating France´s Alsatian Jews, that immediately it yielded good results in Emperor Joseph II´s Austrian Jewish Toleration Edict of 1782, that Mirabeau prepared what is practically a French summary, in 1787, and that the work was immediately published in translated form in France and Italy. The new era of enlightenment emphasized the need of international justice and good will; and the realization of the fact that, even apart from protecting the varying religious views of the subjects of the various states, international commerce and intercourse, immigration and intermarriage, all demanded the recognition of liberty of conscience as a principle of international law.
