from 1756–1783 France builds up a big debt due to there participation in the Seven Years War and American Revolution
this goes against the principals laid out in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen because the debt that Louis xvi built up dug the country into a hole and ruined life for alot of its citizens.

in the begining of the revolution there were alot of little skirmishes like political debates that got heated.but All of this internal division, combined with foreign opposition after a while turned into the Counter-Revolution. this defiled the principals of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen because the choices of the rich and powerful thrust the common folk into a long bloody counter revolution.

in the year 1789 there was a meeting called the estates general this was there first meeting since 1614. the estates general is an assembly that represents the French estates of the country: the clergy, the nobles, and the common people. they were brought together by King Louis XVI to solve his government's financial issues, the Estates-General met for several weeks in May and June 1789 but came to a disagreement. It was brought to an end when some of the common people created a National Assembly, this started the French Revolution. this action supports the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen because every man has the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness and this was the common peoples way of pursuing that.

During the French Revolution, the National Assembly, which existed from June 17, 1789 to July 9, 1789, was a transitional assembly between the Estates-General and the National Constituent Assembly.

The Tennis Court Oath was a major event in the beginning of the French Revolution. The Oath was a pledge signed by 576 of the 577 members from the Third Estate that were locked out of a Estates-General meeting in June of 1789. They held there conference inside a tennis court in the city of Versailles.
this event clearly goes along with the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen because again it is the lower class seeking there life liberty and pursuit of happyness.

Bastille in Paris, France was stormed in the early hours of July 14 1789. The large fortress and prison in Paris was a symbol of royal authority in Paris. the prison was only holding seven inmates at the time of the storming, its fall was the start of the French Revolution. this is also an act of the common peoples of france seeking life liberty and happiness.

The Great Fear was a horrific event that took place from July 17 to 1789. It happened in France at the start of the French Revolution. since the worsening grain shortage of the spring there was a growing unrest in the common people. There were rumors that bands of armed men were roaming the country side
scared peasants in response to such rumors armed themselves and in some places, attacked manor houses. Fear of the peasant revolt was a deciding factor in the decision to abolish feudalism. this supports the declaration I believe because everyone has the right to protect themselves and there belongings including food.

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen is a major document and part of the French Revolution and in the history of human rights. its the french version of the declaration of Independence and makes claims such as every man has the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness it was created on august 26 1789

Important actions of the national convention.

Conventions works were great in all branches of public affairs. they saved France from a civil war and invasion, it founded the system of public education, created institutions of capital importance, and established the social and political gains of the Revolution.

In the time of the French Revolution, the National Convention which was made up of the constitutional and legislative assembly sat from 20 September 1792 to 26 October 1795. It had executive power in France in the first few years of the French First Republic. this goes along with the declaration because this convention was a more even and fair way of ruling france.
