Freedom of Association/History/Era
Revision as of 12:32, 14 May 2024 by RightspediaAdmin (talk | contribs)
Is the identification of this right associated with a particular era in history, political regime, or political leader?
This right became an element of political discourse in the late Enlightenment, especially the American Revolution. In the mid and late 1800s , writers such as Mill and Leo XIII pushed the idea into the mainstream.
