The political evolution of the Atlantic revolution that accompanied the construction of political Modernism went hand in hand with the evolution of rights. These rights made it possible to experience a full democratic citizenship and contributed to the definition of human dignity and the legal mechanisms to preserve them. It was not an easy endeavour. It required a historic generational effort. But, above all, painful experiences and collective oppressions that took a lot of time to heal and created the awareness in humanity of the need for a human rights structure that guarantees full human dignity on which the idea of citizenship rests.
