who was the declaration of the rights of man and citizen written by

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen wasn’t written by a single person. Here’s a breakdown of its authorship:

Initial Draft: The Marquis de Lafayette, a French nobleman, prepared the principal drafts. He consulted with his friend, Thomas Jefferson, who had experience with similar documents in the American colonies.

Committee Revision: The National Assembly formed a committee to revise the drafts. Key figures in this committee included Emmanuel Joseph Sieyès and Honoré Mirabeau.

Final Version: After revisions by the committee, the final Declaration was adopted by the National Assembly in August 1789.
