Question

In what ways does the Declaration reflect France's specific problems and crises?

Answer 1

The declaration establishes the principles of society that will be the basis of the new legitimacy, ending the principles, institutions and practices of the Old Regime: "The principle of all sovereignty lies essentially in the nation." The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen considers legitimate the revolt of the deputies against the absolute monarchy, when declaring as the indispensable right of the man the "resistance to the oppression".
