Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen: Questions

    Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen: Questions

      1. What rights should men, women, and citizens have in the modern world that aren't listed here (due to the fact that things like the internet and surveillance cameras hadn't been invented yet)?
      2. Are the articles of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and citizen in a logical order? Explain and make suggestions for the perfect placement of each article.
      3. Should every nation on earth have their own list of rights or would this list work for everyone? Explain what makes the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen culturally specific, or universal.
      4. Could France have kept this list of rights and also kept their royal family? Could the two have worked together in a constitutional monarchy, or are they completely incompatible?
      5. Is it xenophobic to specify that these rights only apply to citizens of France? Should the authors have gone big and said that everyone everywhere is equal too? Why or why not?
