∙ 12y agoThe Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (French: Déclaration des droits de l'Homme et du citoyen) is a fundamental document of the French Revolution, defining the individual and collective rights of all the estates of the realm as universal. Influenced by the doctrine of natural rights, the rights of Man are universal: valid at all times and in every place, pertaining to human nature itself.
The United States Declaration of Independence is a statement adopted by the Second Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, which announced that the thirteen American colonies then at war with Great Britain were now independent states, and thus no longer a part of the British Empire. Written primarily by Thomas Jefferson, the Declaration is a formal explanation of why Congress had voted on July 2 to declare independence from Great Britain, more than a year after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War.
The Decl of Independence didn't ennumerate individual rights, indicating that certain rights were self-evident and it wasn't necessary to point them out. The Decl of the Rights of Man was interested in specifically declaring certain rights.
Neither document addressed the issues of slavery or women's rights, which were implicitly ignored since no slaves or women participated in the writing or approval of the documents. Indeed, T Jefferson and others were slave-owners.
