    You may have heard of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, which was inspired by many previous documents but IMO most closely the American Declaration of Independence, which we in the U.S. celebrate today. My neighbor Thomas Jefferson was involved in the drafting of both documents. Busy guy! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declarat #RightsofMan
