Sumario:Landed proprietors became a great power against the state in 1808 due mainly to the background formed by financial, administrative and military laws of Ottoman Empire states during the second half of 17th century. Upon the dethronement of Selim III in 1807 after Kabakçı Mustafa riot, Alemdar Mustafa Pasha sought agreement with landed proprietors in order to re-establish the central authority which was demonstrated in the rural areas. This gave birth to Charter of Alliance which was comprised of an introduction, seven conditions and an annex. The most explicit reflection of first generation human rights in Charter of Alliance are the expressions regarding the prohibition of torture, wrongdoing against anyone and confirmation of the guilt in the first place. Fourth and fifth conditions of the document were about the issues covered by first generation rights. The document contained financial rights such as the prohibition of unjust taxation and collection of state incomes as well as social and cultural rights. In this sense, third and seventh conditions were evaluated within the scope of second generation rights. This paper briefly dealt with the developments which led to emergence of Charter of Alliance which was regarded as the first document of Turkish constitutional developments. Besides, it also evaluated the document in terms of human rights content. This evaluation covers first rate rights, also called as civil and political rights or classical rights, as well as social and cultural rights which are second generation rights. <
