What’s the difference and similarities

same: both show that they wanted to a democracy, wanted more right, wanted more say in law makeing

Different: independence stated we were breaking away from england: the other is for when france overthough their king, independence had been made first, rights of man was made after, independence was made to try and peacefully leave british ruling

hope this helps :)

2018 means 2018 ce or common era
