Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen

For my blog post I will be writing about the declaration of rights of man. This was written by a man named Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert (Zhill-bear) du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette. The declaration of rights of man is not to be confused with the declaration of independents, they are very similar because the rights of man was based off the declaration of independents.

The writer Lafayette went to join george washington's army when he was 19. After a while he became very close friends with george and they became almost father and son. While in the States he grew very fond of the declaration of independents and decided to make his own with the help of his friend Jefferson. They worked long evenings secretly to make the Independence of Rights of Man.

When it was finished Lafayette first called it The “First European Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizens,” On July 7th, 1787, Lafayette proposed his "Declaration of the Rights of Man," and it got approved on August 26th to be the “Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizens."
