Rights, Representation, and Reform: Nonsense Upon Stilts and Other Writings on the French Revolution
Bentham's writings for the French Revolution were dominated by the themes of rights, representation, and reform. In 'Nonsense upon Stilts' (hitherto known as 'Anarchical Fallacies'), the most devastating attack on the theory of natural rights ever written, he argued that natural rights provided an unsuitable basis for stable legal and political arrangements. In discussing the nature of representation he produced the earliest utilitarian justification of politicalequality and representative democracy, even recommending women's suffrage.
