Answer 1

The correct response is:

The enslaved people in the colony of Saint-Domingue started a revolution when the declaration was not adopted by the colonists.

This response accurately reflects the historical context in which the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, issued during the French Revolution in 1789, galvanized enslaved people in Saint-Domingue (modern-day Haiti) to fight for their rights and ultimately led to the Haitian Revolution. The declaration's principles of equality and rights were not implemented for enslaved individuals, prompting resistance and revolution.
