The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen is a celebrated symbol of the French Revolution of 1789. Unlike "bill" and "charter"—terms that suggest a legal statement or contract—"declaration" echoes the language of royal pronouncements and confers on popular sovereignty the authority that had accompanied acts of the monarchy. In legislative terms, however, the Declaration is difficult to place.
