Among all the violence and chaos throughout France during the Revolution the National Assembly was hard at work making sure all men were equal and fairly treated. On August 26th 1789 they made that happen. while this was only the first of three constitutions they felt relieved to finally have a document stating their freedom. By making this document official the French people ‘set in stone’ that King Louis XVI no longer had control over his Absolute Monarchy.
The Declaration of the Rights of Man was very significant in the Revolution because it finally transformed France from a Monarchy to a Republic which is one of the causes of the Revolution. Also after changing regimes France inspired other countries to cause an uproar after them. This lead to multiple countries changing regimes in the following years. While the men had rights the women were still left with nothing. Thus leading to the March to Versailles and later the Declaration of the Rights of Women written by Olympe de Gouges. After the signing of both these governments France was actually a Republic and free to make their own laws free of King or Queen rule.
