Question 2

Instructions: Identify the following terms. 
"Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen"

Accepted Answer

The "Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen" is a fundamental document of the French Revolution, adopted by the National Constituent Assembly on August 26, 1789. It is a foundational text of both French constitutional law and human rights, expressing the principles that underpinned the Revolution.

The Declaration was influenced by the doctrine of natural right, stating that the rights of man are held to be universal and valid at all times and in every place. It was inspired by the American Declaration of Independence, the philosophical works of the Enlightenment, such as those by John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and Montesquieu, and by the principles of legal equality and the fight against tyranny and oppression.

The Declaration set forth a range of individual and collective rights for all men, without distinction of origin, race, or religion. Its preamble asserts the existence of natural, inalienable, and sacred human rights and it goes on to define specific freedoms and rights, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to property, the right to liberty, and the presumption of innocence. It also emphasized the importance of the separation of powers and the need for legal equality.

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen became the core element of the French Constitution and has had a profound impact on the development of liberal democracies around the world. It is a seminal document in the history of human rights, reflecting the collective aspirations for equality, freedom, and justice that were a hallmark of the Enlightenment and the revolutionary era.
