Question

List three ways in which the American and French declarations are similar.

Answer 1

-Declared the American colonies self- governing
-adopted by Congress on July 4 1776

Answer 2

Each document was writing to inspire social and political change.

The Declaration of Independence refers to the people of the United States as being free, and outlines how the British royalty stands in the way of free people living freely. This is similar to the first clause of the French Declaration, where it states that all people are free and are to live in equality.

When leaders come together to compose documents such as these, they rarely neglect to remind that everyone is born equal.
