The influential document adopted during the French Revolution that outlined individual rights is the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. Approved in 1789, this foundational text established principles of liberty, equality, and fraternity, asserting that all men are born free and equal in rights. It marked a shift towards recognizing individual rights and the importance of legal equality within society. The declaration has had lasting implications on human rights discourse, influencing both national and international legal frameworks. It remains a cornerstone of democratic values and human rights movements worldwide.
