Answer 1

Answer:

Drafting constitutional protections

Explanation:

After the American Revolution and the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, many countries took inspiration from the United States in their own revolutions and the establishment of rights doctrines.

Marquis de Lafayette, who originally drafted the Declaration of the Rights of Man actually consulted with Thomas Jefferson, an author of the Declaration of the Independence, and framer of the U.S. Constitution, to write their own doctrine to protect the natural rights of man.
