Answer 1

The most accurate answer is A. The enslaved people in the colony of Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti) started a revolution when the Declaration was not adopted by the colonists.

While the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen proclaimed individual and collective rights, its implementation was inconsistent, particularly in the colonies. The refusal of the colonial authorities to extend these rights to the enslaved population led to widespread discontent and ultimately to the Haitian Revolution, which aimed for freedom and independence from colonial rule.
