Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The Declaration of the Rights of Man proved to be a very important document in the history of mankind. It played an important part in French revolution and also in American revolution. It stated that “All men are born and remain free and equal in rights” and highlighted aspects like freedom of speech, religion and expression etc. However, it can be argued that the declaration only suggested power of freedom for active citizens and those who were not considered servants. Yet, the points raised in the declaration supported the end of slavery in the coming years. Hence, this statement can be considered true that "one unintended outcome from the sentiment stated in this excerpt was that enslaved people in French colonies" must be given basic human rights.
