Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen
The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (French: La Declaration des droits de l'Homme et du citoyen) is one of the most important papers of the French Revolution. This paper explains a list of rights, such as freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and separation of powers. All men have these rights. It also talks about some rights many people have together. This paper was written using some of the ideas of natural rights, these rights are for all men: they are supposed to be valid in all times and places. They are said to be rights of human nature. The last idea of the Declaration was accepted on 26 August 1789, by the National Constituent Assembly. It was a very important thing to do before the people could write a constitution. The paper explained these basic rights, not only for French people but for all men without exception but, it did not say anything about the rights or role of women.
It also did not talk about slavery.
Hence, we can say that The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen is a very important document in the history of the French Revolution.
