Question

question 13 of 25 how are the declaration of independence and the declaration of the rights of man and of the citizen similar?
a. both are based on the idea that all people have inalienable rights.

b. both were used to justify the american revolution.

c. both established constitutional democracies following revolutions.

d. both attacked the idea that societies should be divided into social classes.

Explanation:

• The Declaration of Independence asserts that all men are created equal with unalienable rights (life, liberty, pursuit of happiness). The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (French Revolution - related) also proclaims natural and inalienable rights like liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression.
• Option B: The Declaration of the Rights of Man was for the French Revolution, not American, so B is wrong.
• Option C: The Declaration of Independence led to the US (a constitutional democracy over time), but the Declaration of the Rights of Man was part of the French Revolution's early phase and France's path to a stable constitutional democracy was more complex, and the declaration itself didn't "establish" a constitutional democracy in the same direct way. Also, the US was a new nation, France was reforming an existing state, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: Neither document's main focus was attacking social class division (the French document was more about individual rights/limiting monarchy, US was about independence from Britain), so D is wrong.

Answer:

A. Both are based on the ideas that all people have inalienable rights.
