Answer 1

HEY MATE

YOUR ANSWER.......

Yes, the message of universal rights was beset with contradictions. Though it laid emphasis on the three fundamental principles of liberty, equality and fraternity, it is a great contribution of France to the world. But philosophers like Marat and journalists such as Camike Desmoulins have cautioned not to take the different rights to the extreme since they give foul smell or taste sour.

(i) The Women challenged the Declaration of Rights for discrimination on the basis of sex.

(ii) Jean Paul Marat criticized the right to represent the people given in the Constitution as it was available to only rich; poor and oppressed were deprived of this right.

(iii) Desmoulins criticized the Reign of Terror for keeping the liberty under discipline before it attains maturity.

(iv) My right of liberty does not mean that I should finish off all my enemies

Answer 2

${\large{\blue{\boxed{\boxed{\boxed{\mathrm{\red{Hey \: Mate!}}}}}}}}$

Yes, the message of universal rights was beset with contradictions:

Many ideas in the "Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen" were replete with dubious meanings. For example, "the law has the right to forbid only actions injurious to society" had nothing to say about criminal offences against other individuals.

The declaration stated that "law is the expression of the general will. All citizens have the right to participate in its formation…All citizens are equal before it", but when France became a constitutional monarchy, almost 3 million citizens including men who did not pay sufficient taxes, women and men under the age of 25 were not allowed to vote at all.

Hence, by these universal rights poor were suppressed. Constitution was only available for the rich. Women were totally neglected in decision making.
