Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen: What's Up With the Closing Lines?

    Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen: What's Up With the Closing Lines?

      There, um, aren't any.

      The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen just ends with Article 17, which is about property rights. They apparently didn't think that it was necessary to include any profound last words.

      (We definitely think they should have come up with a signature sign off. What the French Revolution needed was more mic dropping.)
