...The document so frantically cobbled together was stunning in its sweep
and simplicity. Never once mentioning king, nobility, or church, it
declared the “natural, inalienable and sacred rights of man” to be the
foundation of any and all government. It assigned sovereignty to the
nation, not the king, and pronounced everyone equal before the law,
thus opening positions to talent and merit and implicitly eliminating all
privilege based on birth. More striking than any particular guarantee,
however, was the universality of the claims made. References to “men,”
“man,” “every man,” “all men,” “all citizens,” “each citizen,” “society,”
and “every society” dwarfed the single reference to the French people....
