Abstract
The present article is meant to carry out a concise analysis of origins of modern legal rights which were created during one of the most momentous upheavals in religious and social life - The French Revolution. It presents processes and conditions of creating some of the greatest legal regulations of the early modern period.
The article draws attention to a certain paradox - a well-ordered legal system which emerged from a turbulent and bloody revolution. Not to mention another paradox, the revolution took place in the Age of Enlightenment and was led by the people representing this very humanistic trend.
The experts in the field state that The French Revolution is an ongoing process, not a sequence of events in a particular period starting from 1789. The expression of this process is shaping new legal rights such as abortion law, same-sex marriages law and many others.
