INTRODUCTION:
The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen was one of the documents crucial to the early stages of the French Revolution. The document was adopted by the new Constituent Assembly on August 26, 1789 and became the preamble of the 1791 Constitution. Similar to the American Declaration of Independence, the document was influenced by Enlightenment philosophy and ideals. The emphasis placed on the right of property was also found in the writings of John Locke, and Article 6, which refers to the "general will," echoes the ideas of Rousseau. The Declaration also attempted to redress the problems of the ancien regime, under whom the rights of citizens could be overturned at any time by the king. While reading this document, consider the changes to French society that it advocates. Who benefits from the rights set out in this declaration?
