USA HISTORY

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: -Equality, or doing away with privilege, was the most important part of the slogan to the French revolutionists. For equality they were willing to sacrifice their political liberty. They did this when they accepted the rule of Napoleon I. Fraternity, or brotherhood with all men, was also sacrificed.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Liberty cannot be divorced from equality; equality cannot be divorced from liberty, nor can liberty and equality be divorced from fraternity. Dr B R Ambedkar was the chairman of the drafting committee of the constitution.
