Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen: The Declaration of Independence
Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen: The Declaration of Independence
The obvious choice would be to compare the two great declarations…because they have a ton in common. The Marquis de Lafayette based much of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen on the ideas and words of his friend Thomas Jefferson, who helped draft this declaration too.
The two aren't exactly alike, they set out to accomplish very different goals, including trying to stick-it to very different kings, but they overlap in a lot of their Enlightenment era thinking.
