Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen (1789)
(La Declaration des Droits de
l'Homme et du Citoyen)
This Declaration proclaims that all citizens are to be
guaranteed the rights of liberty, property, security, and
resistance to oppression.

exercise of the natural rights of each man has only those
borders which assure other members of the society the
enjoyment of these same rights. Thus, the Declaration sees
Law as an expression of the general will, intended to
promote this quality of rights and to forbid only actions harmful
to the society.
