Why?

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen (Déclaration des droits de l’homme et du citoyen), adopted on 26 August 1789, sets out the rights of every person: liberty, property, security, resistance to oppression. Its preamble says that it should remind everyone of “their rights and their duties”. It is still part of French law, because the Constitution of 1958 refers to it.

Translated with AI. In the exam the question is in French, as shown above.
