Answer:

The main point of the declaration of 1789 is to state the equality of all men before the law. The basic principle is that "all men are born equal and remain free and equal in rights." The French Revolution promoted highly egalitarian ideas that should not be understood only as values, but they also expressed a strong desire of change and social justice vis-a-vis the inequalities of the monarchical regime and the privileged position of the nobles. The text gives French citizens the rights of liberty, private property , inviolability of the person, and resistance to opression.
