Question

8. Identifying Cause and Effect How did the drafting of the Declaration of Independence affect the French Revolution in 1789?

Answer 1

"The French who had direct contact with the Americans were able to successfully implement Enlightenment ideas into a new political system.

The National Assembly in France even used the American Declaration of Independence as a model when drafting the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen in 1789.

Much like the American document, the French declaration included Enlightenment principles, such as equal rights and popular sovereignty"
