The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen enshrined key Enlightenment ideas—natural rights, liberty, equality before the law, popular sovereignty, and checks on arbitrary power—drawing on thinkers like Locke, Rousseau, and Montesquieu. By framing political authority as deriving from the people and protecting individual freedoms, it provided the ideological justification for overthrowing the monarchy and shaping revolutionary reforms.
