Question

Why did olynpedegouges criticise the jacobin goverment

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Some of the basic rights set forth in Olympe de Gouges’Declaration.1.Woman is born free and remains equal to man in rights.2.The goal of all political associations is the preservation of the naturalrights of woman and man: These rights are liberty, property, security,and above all resistance to oppression.3.The source of all sovereignty resides in the nation, which is nothingbut the union of woman and man.4.The law should be the expression of the general will; all female andmale citizens should have a say either personally or by theirrepresentatives in its formulation; it should be the same for all. Allfemale and male citizens are equally entitled to all honoursand public employment according to their abilities and without anyother distinction than that of their talents.5.No woman is an exception; she is accused, arrested, and detained incases determined by law. Women, like men, obey this rigorous law.Compare the manifesto drafted by Olympe deGouges (Source F) with the Declaration of theRights of Man and Citizen (Source C).In 1793, the Jacobin politician Chaumettesought to justify the closure of women’sclubs on the following grounds:‘Has Nature entrusted domestic duties tomen? Has she given us breasts to nurturebabies?No.She said to Man:Be a man. Hunting, agriculture, political duties… that is your kingdom.She said to Woman:Be a woman … the things of the household,the sweet duties of motherhood – thoseare your tasks.Shameless are those women, who wish tobecome men. Have not duties been fairlydistributed?’Fig.13 – Women queuing up at a bakery.ActivityImagine yourself to be one of the women in Fig. 13. Formulate aresponse to the arguments put forward by Chaumette (Source G).Source G
