How did colonial slavery expose the limit of the Declaration of Rights?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Declared rights did not immediately reach enslaved people

The governing concept is the gap between universal language and unequal colonial practice. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen presented liberty and equality as general principles, yet colonial societies continued to enslave people and treat them as property. The declaration therefore did not immediately protect enslaved people or provide them equal political and civil rights. Option A correctly identifies this contradiction and shows why slavery exposed a limit of the revolutionary claim to universality. Option B is false because no immediate equality in offices was granted; C wrongly narrows the declaration to shipping rules; and D confuses the declaration’s limitation with a direct policy of expanding the slave trade.
