DECLARATION BY OLYMPE DE GOUGES

Women is born free and remains equal to man in rights.

The goal of all political associations is the prevention of the natural rights of women and man: These rights

are liberty, property, security, and above all resistance to oppression. The source of all sovereignty resides in

the nation, which is nothing but the union of woman and man.

The law should be the expression of the general will: all female and male citizens should have a say either

personally or by their representatives in its formulation: it should be the same for all.

No woman is an exception; she is accused, arrested, and detained in cases determined by law. women, like

men, obey this rigorous law.

She protested against the Constitutions and the Declaration of Rights of Women and Citizen as women were

excluded from basic rights that each human being was entitled to.

Answer 1

Answer:

Marie Gouze (1748–93) was a self–educated butcher's daughter from the south of France who, under the name Olympe de Gouges, wrote pamphlets and plays on a variety of issues, including slavery, which she attacked as being founded on greed and blind prejudice.The basic principle of the Declaration was that all “men are born and remain free and equal in rights” (Article 1), which were specified as the rights of liberty, private property, the inviolability of the person, and resistance to oppression (Article 2).The Declaration emerged from the tenets of the Enlightenment, including individualism, the social contract as theorized by Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and the separation of powers espoused by Montesquieu. The spirit of secular natural law rests at the foundations of the Declaration.The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (French: La Déclaration 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.
