- At first, the King disapproved of the constitution that was being out in the first place. However, a constitution that the king would approve was finally declared thanks to the National Assembly, and their resilience. This was a break from Social Injustice, and the Status Quo. People of high standing were now taken their advantages away from them. As for people of lower-class status, they were finally being treated equally without unfair treatment in order for the higher classes to have those advantages. In this declaration, Equality, Liberty, Property, and Security for all men were announced. All men remain free and equal.
