Marquis de Lafayette, a key figure in the French Revolution, co-authored the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen in 1789 to establish fundamental civil liberties and promote the principles of equality, liberty, and fraternity. Inspired by Enlightenment ideals and the American Revolution, Lafayette aimed to create a framework that would protect individual rights and limit governmental power. His contributions were essential in articulating the aspirations of the revolutionaries and laying the groundwork for modern democratic principles in France.

Thomas Jefferson wrote about unalienable rights in the Declaration of Independence. The idea was adapted from the philosophy of John Locke.
According to the history text Introduction of Contemporary Civilization in the West, the Declaration was written by a committee:The document was the work of a committee made up of more than twenty leaders of the National Assembly. It drew heavily on Jean Jacque Rousseau, the US Declaration of Independence and the "Enlightenment" thinking of the day.I have seen the Declaration being attributed to Lafayette on one web site but can't find any verification of this.It was adopted by the French National Assembly August 26, 1789For a full copy of the Declaration please seehttp://history.hanover.edu/courses/excerpts/111decr.html
