This article may lack focus or may be about more than one topic. In particular, is it a list article, or about manifestos, generally? If it is a definition, it should be transwikified to Wiktionary. (September 2023) |
A manifesto is a written declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party, or government.[1][2][3][4] A manifesto can accept a previously published opinion or public consensus, but many prominent manifestos—such as The Communist Manifesto (1848) and those of various artistic movements—reject accepted knowledge in favor of a new idea.[5] Manifestos relating to religious belief are generally referred to as creeds or confessions of faith.
