Progressive Republicans (France)
The Progressive Republicans () were a parliamentary group in France active during the late 19th century during the French Third Republic. The group was formed in 1889 after a split from the Moderate Republicans majority and constituted the parliamentary right-wing after the monarchists' decline during the end of the century. The Progressive Republicans were later reunited into the Liberal Republican Union ().

The term "the people" refers to the public or common mass of people of a polity. As such it is a concept of human rights law, international law as well as constitutional law, particularly used for claims of popular sovereignty.

Concepts Legal Chapter One, Article One of the Charter of the United Nations states that "peoples" have the right to self-determination. Though the mere status as peoples and the right to self-determination, as for example in the case of Indigenous peoples (''peoples'', as in all groups of indigenous people, not merely all indigenous persons as in ''indigenous people''), does not automatically provide for independent sovereignty and therefore secession. Indeed, judge Ivor Jennings identified the inherent problems in the right of "peoples" to self-determination, as ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
