Detailed explanation-1: -A legacy of the Age of Enlightenment, the motto “Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité” first appeared during the French Revolution. Although it was often called into question, it finally established itself under the Third Republic.
Detailed explanation-2: -The last part of the motto, too closely associated with Reign of Terror, quickly disappeared. Like many Revolutionary symbols, the motto became obsolete during the Empire. It returned during the Revolution in 1848, which defined it as a principle of the Republic, enshrined in its constitution.
Detailed explanation-3: -Liberté, égalité, fraternité – Liberty, Equality, Fraternity: these words are regarded as the most famous slogan of the French Revolution. Men and women are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions may be founded only upon the common good.
