"The First French Republic: A Study of the Origin and the Contents of the Declaration of the Rights of Man, of the Constitution, and of the Adoption of the Republican Form of Government in 1792" by Horace Mann Conaway is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work examines the foundational elements of the First French Republic, particularly focusing on the ideologies underlying the Declaration of the Rights of
Man and the shift from monarchy to a republican government. The text delves into the socio-political movements that facilitated this transformation during the tumultuous revolutionary period in France. At the start of this study, the author outlines his objective to investigate the genesis of revolutionary ideas leading to the French Republic. Conaway emphasizes the influence of various factors—including social, political, and economic aspects—that precipitated the Revolution. The opening portion of the book discusses the motivations behind the creation of the Declaration of the Rights of Man, highlighting the impact of American political thought on French revolutionary leaders. The author presents a chronological examination of debates within the National Assembly regarding the declaration, illustrating the complex interplay of thoughts and events that ultimately culminated in the establishment of a republican government in France.
