historical reasoning

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen

When this declaration was introduced it stated that the rights of man are universal. This is a fundamental doc of the french revolution. Also, it doesnt mention anything about the status of women nor slabvery. But, the outcome of this historical doc is that it turned out to be an important document for ''international human rights instruments''.




The United States Bill of Rights


When this was introduced it stated and forbidded congress from making any law respecting an establishment of religion: ''the right of the people to keep and bear arms''. it also forbid the federal government from depriving a person of liberty, life or property without due process of law. Therefore, this document's outcome is that it plays a central role in the American law and gov. And more importantly, remains a symbol of the freedoms and culture of the country.





The Haitian Revolution


This was a time where many people in rebellions and revolts died. They were fighting for the good reason of freedom, but not only of haiti but of the elimination of slavery. As an outcome, the Haitian Revolution is regarded as a defining moment in the history of Africans in the new world.
