New proofs are given for Cauchy's and Alexandrov's classical theorem on the rigidity of polyhedral frameworks, as well as their higher dimensional generalizations. Through duality, the rigidity of these frameworks follows from characterizations of the case of equality in Minkowski's quadratic inequality.
