The goal of this exercise is to analyze the differences between the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and the American Declaration of Independence. Studying these two documents will help students place the Declaration of Independence in a global context. They should read the pre-reading questions to prepare for the primary texts and evaluate the two sources in the light of these questions. Students will write their reflections on the differences between the declarations before participating in a class discussion.
