This image of the Declaration of the Rights of Man uses the image of angels and other holy looking symbols to create a positive connotation of its ideas. It reminds me of the Declaration of Independence, and to an extent, it looks a little bit like some pictures of the Biblical Ten Commandments. The creators of this declaration are definitely trying to send out a positive, perfect idea of their declaration to the people of France.
1) All men are born equally, and social classes should only benefit society instead of oppressing the people.
2) The main purpose of a government is to protect the rights of men, not to destroy them.
3) The people have the power in a nation, and one person or group cannot control an entire population.
4) Men have the freedom to do what they want, unless it infringes on another man's natural rights.
5) The law can only be involved with society, and not individuals.
6) Everyone has the right to participate in the law if they choose to, and all are treated equally by the law.
7) People can only be punished by the law, but not in forms not described by the law.
8) The law will only be involved in what is necessary, and not what it is not related too.
9) All men are innocent until proven guilty, and until they are proven, no violence is to be enforced.
10) As long as they don't affect society as a whole, all men are entitled to their own beliefs.
11) All men have the right to the freedom of speech, in all forms.
12) Public security must be used to protect mans rights only, and not for someone's personal gain.
13) A fair an equal tax is necessary to the success of a society.
14) Men have the right to choose the laws and taxes for their society.
15) Society has a right for all men to have identification.
16) If the law is not enforced in society, there is not point in having a legal system at all.
17) Unless there are specific special circumstances, all men have the right to their own property.
