Question

In 1789, the French National Assembly issued the “Declaration of the Rights of Man,” based in part on the concepts expressed in the U.S. Declaration of
Independence in 1776. Both documents reflected the Enlightenment belief that governments exist to protect the natural rights of citizens.
What developments in France and the United States attempted to assure the implementation of this concept of government?

drafting constitutional protections
restoring monarchical rule
expanding the slave trade
gaining additional territory

Answer 1

I'm not an expert on the "Declaration of the Rights of Man" but I know that the U.S. Declaration of Independence was influenced greatly by John Locke's Second Treatise of Government. In which he argued that governments existed to protect the people, not people to protect governments.
