Detailed explanation-1: -The United States Declaration of Independence and French declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen were both documents standing for freedom and equality. The documents were written at different times, with different priorities; however, both stood for same cause.
Detailed explanation-2: -The “Declaration of the Rights of Man” isn’t a declaration of independence, since the French weren’t trying to establish a different country, but give their existing one a makeover. This is why in many ways the text is more like the U.S. Bill of Rights, including a list of, you know, rights.
Detailed explanation-3: -The basic principle of the Declaration was that all “men are born and remain free and equal in rights” (Article 1), which were specified as the rights of liberty, private property, the inviolability of the person, and resistance to oppression (Article 2).
Detailed explanation-4: -The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen helped to form the foundation of the French Revolution, in hopes of ending the monarchy and establishing a democracy in France. Nature made men free and equal; the distinctions between them are based on general utility.
