The declaration of the rights of man made all french citizens equal before the law. how did this equality contrast with the ways of the old regime? the declaration removed the king from power. the declaration forced the aristocracy to give up their land. the declaration created a separation between church and state. the declaration abolished the three estates.

The correct answer is “the declaration abolished the three estates”. The three estates consisted in the clergy, the aristocracy, and the common people. The first two had special rights, so the declaration gave citizens rights they didn’t have before which was liberty, property, security, and resistance to oppression.
