In what ways is the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen similar to our Bill of Rights?The Bill of Rights and Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen are based on the same principles of natural rights; therefore each document is similar in protecting the people's natural rights.
How do does the French Declaration of the Rights of Man differ from the United States Declaration of Independence?A major difference in the two documents is that the French declaration makes no mention of God as the source of human rights, while the U.S. declaration affirms that human rights are derived from the "Creator" and that the role of the government is to protect these God-given rights.
What heavily influenced the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen and the US Declaration of Independence?Philosophical and theoretical context
