Similarities and differences between English bill of rights and the declaration rights of man and citizen Bryan. W Mr. Roberts The English bill of rights and the declaration rights of man and citizen are two of the most influential documents ever written between 1600-1800; those documents greatly affect the rights and freedom that everyone was born with today, it also greatly affects the US constitution about how they govern their country how they think about government.

David was the virtual art dictator of France for a generation. Extending beyond painting, his influence determined the course of fashion, furniture design, and interior decoration and was reflected in the development of moral philosophy. His art was a sudden and decisive break with tradition, and from this break "modern art" is dated. David studied with Vien, and after winning the Prix de Rome (which had been refused him four times, causing him to attempt suicide by starvation) he accompanied

The French Revolution was a time of civil war in France that was filled with the shed blood of many for one cause, to create a democratic government. An important figure that dominated the Committee of Public Safety, a political body that took control of France during the Reign of Terror, was a man named Maximilien Robespierre. Robespierre was born the son of a lawyer in Arras, France on May 6, 1758, but during Maximilien’s childhood his siblings and him were raised by their maternal grandparents

provinces, led by anti-revolutionary rural citizens, acted as proof to revolutionaries that the internal enemies conducting the civil war are causing the military failures of the French army by foreign enemies. The assassination of the Montagnard, Marat, supported the revolutionaries belief that internal enemies are out to hunt revolutionary leaders and bring an end to the revolution.

country was restructuring its government in a forceful and bloodless manner, while the tyrant King Louis the XVI agreed to the demands of the masses (albeit without much choice). However, due to the fanatical aspirations of men such as Danton, Marat and Robespierre,it would be only a matter of months before the moderate stage of social and political reform was transformed into a radical phase of barbaric and violent force.

Robespierre did not leave this up to the CSG whose job was to punish this type of people and because of this, he gained the reputation of a tyrant—he

art is approached differently. David’s “The Death of Marat” shows how art can be a vehicle for moral education, Daumier’s “The Laundress on the Quai d’Anjou” honours character produced from suffering, and Manet’s “Olympia” harshly criticises France’s moral hypocrisies. Although not all artists set out to show morals in their art, their paintings subconsciously reflect the time that they were in, which involves society’s morals.

The French Revolution is frequently referred to as one of the bloodiest time periods in history, being branded as an event that would evidently spawn ideals that were barely indulged in before and were built primarily on equality. The historical premise presented within Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities introduces similarities between the Revolutionaries he created, and of the prominence of the French Revolution, as well as the Revolution itself; however, its representation of figures as well as society
