The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, approved by the Constituent Assembly at the outset of the French Revolution in 1789, was largely inspired by the American Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson, US Ambassador to France, and his friend La Fayette helped draft this immensely influential document.
Our unique parallel text presents the original French on the left page, the English translation on the right, with sentences and paragraphs aligned for easy reading and reference. Parallel texts of this kind are a very valuable learning resource, as they make the foreign language content immediately comprehensible.
