Question

the declaration of independence and the declaration of the rights of man are similar because they both
were written in an attempt to destroy a monarchy.
stated that governments must be responsible.
were written to call attention to weak governments.
stated that people should be able to enjoy liberty.

Explanation:

• The Declaration of Independence (U.S.) and Declaration of the Rights of Man (France) are foundational Enlightenment-era documents centered on individual freedoms.
• The first option is incorrect: the U.S. sought independence from a monarchy, but the French document was written during a revolution against a monarchy yet not solely to "destroy" one as the U.S. was separating, not overthrowing to replace immediately in the same framing.
• The second option is too vague; while both imply government accountability, their core focus is individual rights, not just general government responsibility.
• The third option is wrong: neither was written to highlight weak governments; they were written to assert rights against unjust rule.
• The fourth option is correct: both explicitly enshrine the principle of individual liberty as a core natural right of people.

Answer:

D. stated that people should be able to enjoy liberty
