Liberalism and republicanism influenced both the French and American Revolutions. In the French revolution the ideology of liberalism was adopted into the Declaration of Man and Citizens. The Declaration of Man and Citizens ensured equality to all French citizens, and it was because of this that the phrase, “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” was adopted as a slogan for the revolutionary. Similarly liberalism had a major impact on the American Revolution. It brought about the creation of the Bill of Rights which included 10 amendments that ensured all citizens of the United States the freedom of press, religion, speech and assembly.
