Explanation:

Question 9:

To determine the natural rights of a man from the document, we analyze the provided articles:

• Article 2: Lists natural rights as "liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression".
• Article 4: Defines liberty as the right to act without harming others.
• Article 11: Affirms the free communication of thoughts and opinions (speech, writing, print) as a precious right.
• Article 16: Notes that rights are not assured in societies without separation of powers or guaranteed rights.

These articles collectively outline the natural rights, emphasizing individual freedoms (liberty, expression) and protections (property, security) that exist inherently, with social distinctions only for common benefit.

The ideas in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen (1789) emphasized natural rights (liberty, equality, property, free expression) and limited government (separation of powers, rule of law). These challenged the French monarchy’s absolute power, feudal privileges, and social inequality (First and Second Estates’ dominance over the Third Estate).

• Enlightenment Influence: Ideas of Rousseau (social contract), Locke (natural rights), and Montesquieu (separation of powers) resonated with the Third Estate (commoners), who faced economic hardship and political disenfranchisement.
• Social Inequality: The document’s call for equality and abolition of unjust social distinctions (based on birth) mobilized the Third Estate against the aristocracy and clergy.
• Political Legitimacy: The declaration’s assertion that government exists to protect rights undermined the monarchy’s "divine right" to rule, justifying revolution.

By 1789, widespread discontent (food shortages, tax burdens) combined with these ideological triggers led the French to revolt against King Louis XVI, seeking to establish a society based on the declaration’s principles.

Answer:

According to the document, the natural rights of a man include liberty, property, security, resistance to oppression, and the free communication of thoughts and opinions (via speech, writing, print). Social distinctions are permitted only if they serve the common good.
