Revolution and Terror

We’re not leaving until there is a constitution!! What they came up with was called the Declaration of the Rights of Man

This document would lay forth the basic rights of each French Citizen This document would lay forth the basic rights of each French Citizen. Strangely within the same week the US Bill of Rights were being drawn up and approved by the government. These two document came from the same period, from the same Enlightenment ideas and in many ways are similar...but are in many other ways different.

Both partners should have their own T-chart You and a partner will examine these two documents and find similarities and differences between the two. Both partners should have their own T-chart similarities Differences Pay close attention to how these rights are worded. Do they leave room for interpretation?

In your response questions section answer these two questions. Which document is better? Explain why? What problems with the Rights of Man might lead to problems later on for the revolution and the people?

*Was the Reign of terror Justified?* The early years of the french revolution saw a new and exciting period for french equality. The 1000 year “Old Regime” was brought to an end, the king lost most of his power with agreement to a Constitutional Monarchy, a elected assembly created laws, and a bill of rights was established. During the Reign of Terror it was said that some of this progress needed to be given up in order to protect the revolution. *Was the Reign of terror Justified?* Include at least two references to the documents, one to the Declaration of the rights of man, one to the movie.
