The Declaration of Sentiments, also known as the Declaration of Rights and Sentiments,[1] is a document signed in 1848 by 68 women and 32 men—100 out of some 300 attendees at the first women's rights convention to be organized by women. The convention was held in Seneca Falls, New York, now known as the Seneca Falls Convention. The principal author of the Declaration was Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who based it on the form of the United States Declaration of Independence. She was a key organizer of the convention along with Lucretia Coffin Mott, and Martha Coffin Wright. According to the North Star, published by Frederick Douglass, whose attendance at the convention and support of the Declaration helped pass the resolutions put forward, the document was the "grand movement for attaining the civil, social, political, and religious rights of women."[2][3] At a time when traditional roles were still very much in place, the Declaration caused much controversy. Many people respected the courage and abilities behind the drafting of the document, but were unwilling to abandon conventional mindsets. An article in the Oneida Whig published soon after the convention described the document as "the most shocking and unnatural event ever recorded in the history of womanity." Many newspapers insisted that the Declaration was drafted at the expense of women's more appropriate duties. At a time when temperance and female property rights were major issues, even many supporters of women's rights believed the Declaration's endorsement of women's suffrage would hinder the nascent women's rights movement, causing it to lose much needed public support.

Some of the similarities between the two revolutions were:

Both revolutions began due to the ideas of Enlightenment.
Many of their objectives were similar: freedom, equality, the end of tyranny, the rule of law, etc.
Both desired a republican, democratic government.
Both inspired many political changes across the world.

However, they were also significantly different:

The United States was fighting against a different country (England), while France engaged in a civil war. This led to deeper divisions within French society.
The United States already had a more egalitarian system, while French social classes were extremely rigid. Therefore, long-lasting change was more difficult to achieve.
The United States was successful in remaining democratic and republican, while France struggled with various regime changes.
The post-war period was relatively peaceful in America, while it was extremely bloody and violent in France.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Enlightenment Ideas

The Enlightenment was a period in Europe characterized by a new wave of social and political thinking. The Englightenment focused on 2 main ideas, humanism and individualism. Humanism encouraged people to think of life in a secular way and think about life as more than simply a precursor to the afterlife. Individualism wanted people to focus on individuals and their ideas instead of only on large groups like the government or Church.

Important Thinkers

Many people became famous for their philosophies during this time.

John Locke - Locke believed in the social contract. This was an unwritten contract between the government and the people that stated that the government had to protect the rights of the people and that the people had to overthrow corrupt governments.
Thomas Aquinas - He believed in natural rights, which stated that people were born with certain rights that no government could take away.
Montesquieu - Montesquieu thought that governments should have checks and balances, so that no person could gain too much power. He thought that to do this governments should be split into 3 branches.

Long-Term Effects

To this day, many governments take ideas from the Enlightenment and apply them to modern government. For example, it was Locke who first said that everyone had the right to life, liberty, and property. This was then amended by the founding fathers to the famous quote: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Additionally, the idea of 3 branches of government can be seen in the United States. Without the Enlightenment, most democratic nations would have a completely different government. Additionally, the Enlightenment helped spread ideas of equality and would later encourage slave rebellions and women's suffrage. Also, the Enlightenment was an important step in the separation of Church and State.
