Question

which was a common goal of the declaration of independence and the declaration of the rights of man and of the citizen?
○ to form separate countries
○ to remove a leader from power
○ to establish rights and freedoms of common people
○ to establish absolute power for a new leader

Explanation:

• The Declaration of Independence aimed to declare the colonies' independence and establish the rights of the people (e.g., life, liberty, pursuit of happiness). The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen aimed to establish the natural rights of French citizens (e.g., liberty, property, security).
• Option 1: The Declaration of the Rights of Man was not about forming a separate country (France already existed), so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: The Declaration of Independence was about independence from Britain, not just removing a leader, and the Declaration of the Rights of Man was about rights, not primarily removing a leader (though it was during the French Revolution, its main goal was rights), so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Both documents focused on defining and establishing the rights and freedoms of the common people, so this is correct.
• Option 4: Neither document aimed to establish absolute power for a new leader; they were about limiting arbitrary power and establishing rights, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

C. to establish rights and freedoms of common people (Note: Assuming the options are labeled A - D, with the third option being C. If the original options had different labels, adjust accordingly. Based on the given options, the correct one is "to establish rights and freedoms of common people".)
