How did colonial slavery show the real limit of the Declaration of Rights?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Declared rights did not immediately reach enslaved people

The governing concept is the contradiction between universal rights and their limited application in colonial society. The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen used broad language about liberty and equality, but enslaved people in French colonies were not immediately treated as equal citizens. Plantation owners and merchants benefited from forced labour and resisted any change that threatened their wealth. Therefore, option A is correct: the declaration expressed an important ideal, yet its protection did not automatically extend to enslaved people. Option B is wrong because full rights were not granted at once; C falsely narrows the declaration to ships; and D reverses the main point, since the declaration exposed rather than directly increased the trade.
