The Right to Come and Go.

- Abstract
Other participants in this forum will have addressed the way American common law shaped the meaning of public rights in postbellum Louisiana. Here I expand on Rebecca Scott's intuition about the transnational character of Louisiana's 1868 Constitution. I do so by suggesting a resonance between French legal writing and the Louisianan understanding of public rights. The innovative spirit of Edward Tinchant becomes all the more striking when his ideas are put into conversation with the language of rights in postrevolutionary France.
