 Declarations of the Rights of Man   The Declarations of the Rights of Man was a document that was made during the French Revolution ensuring that men had their own rights. This Declaration was a step towards a modern state in the sense that men granted further rights and more freedom. It established fundamental rights for French citizens and all men without exceptions. The Declarations stated, "Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions may be founded only upon the general good."  Although this document stated that men had universal rights, it never addressed the status of women or slavery. Women were still not seen as equal to men.
