Question 2

Instructions: Identify the following term(s). 
"Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen"

Accepted Answer

The "Declaration of the Rights of Man and 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 a set of individual and collective rights of the people. 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.

The document set forth a list of rights, such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, the right to property, and the right to a fair trial, as well as the principle of the sovereignty of the people. It proclaimed that all men are born and remain free and equal in rights and that the aim of all political association should be the preservation of the natural and imprescriptible rights of man.

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen became the preamble to the French Constitution of 1791 and has had a significant impact on the development of democracy and human rights in France and around the world. It is considered a prime example of the Enlightenment's influence on political thought and has inspired a range of other documents, including the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
