Heres the French Declaration of rights of Man
http://www.yale.edu/lawweb/avalon/rightsof.htm

AND Heres the Bill of Rights
http://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/constitution.billofrights.html

Now to compare and contrast
The French Declaration of rights i\has its roots in the Americcan
Bill of rights. The French Declaration has 17 rights,whereas the American Bill of Rights Have 10. The difference in the 2 Documents is Quite Obvious. The American Bill of rights concerns the Freedoms that Each Person is considered to have
as a Citizen of The United States.
The French Declaration concerns itself more with rights as to the Society. Take for example right # 13-the right to pay Taxes. There is nothing similar in The American Bill of Rights
Anoither difference in the French Declaration Men & Women are mentioned.In The American document this is implied,rather than mentioned.
Those aere a few of the differences,i hope i have helped
