read the passage from  sugar changed the world.in france, there was no parliament or congress; no one expected to be able to protect his rights by voting. but even in the land of king louis xvi and queen marie antoinette, the people demanded to be heard. in july 1789, parisians stormed the bastille, the hated prison where the king locked up anyone he disliked. and in august, the newly defined national assembly issued the declaration of the rights of man and the citizen. "men are born and remain free and equal in rights,” it announced to the world. here it was again, pierre lemerre’s phrase, jefferson’s phrase, the principle clarkson was fighting for—indeed, he came to france to support the new government. and yet the declaration also said that "property is an inviolable and sacred right.” so what were slaves? equal human beings, or goods that belonged to their owners? human rights versus property rights. that argument goes on today as, for example, we debate how closely to regulate coal mining. is it best to let owners set rules, which is likely to give all of us cheaper coal, or to have the government set standards, which is more likely to protect workers and the environment? in france, one side argued that slaves must be freed. the other said that to change anything in the sugar islands would invite slave revolts, france's rivals, and thus hurt the nation.which historical events do the authors include to support the claim in this passage? select  two  options.details of marie antoinette’s actions at the bastillespecific details about the modern sugar industrya quotation from the declaration of rights of man and the citizena summary of political changes related to human rights in france  a description of revolts in the sugar islands
