how is haitian constitution and the declaration of the rights of man and the citizen similar? how are they different?

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, (French: La Déclaration des droits de l'homme et du citoyen), is one of the fundamental documents of the French Revolution, defining a set of individual rights (and collective rights of the people vis a vis the state). It was adopted August 26, 1789 by the National Constituent Assembly (Assemblée Nationale Constituante), as the first step toward writing a constitution.

The principles set in the Declaration are of constitutional value and may be used to oppose legislation or other government activities.

Unlike the earlier U.S. Declaration of Independence, it is intended to be of universal value. It does not only set forth fundamental rights of the French citizens but acknowledges these rights to all men without exception:

"First Article – Men are born and remain free and equal in rights. Social distinctions can be founded only on the common utility."
