How did political and legal ideas contained in the declaration of the rights of man and of the citizen impact the french revolution?

The declaration of the rights of man and of the citizen impact gave certain god given rights to citizens. The french used this as a basis for their reasoning for revolting against their government much like how the Americans used the writing of John Locke to give basis to the declaration of independence.
