The main reason why the Catholic Church was committed to defending the literal meaning of the Bible passages is because they feared that people would stray from the church if they started to develop their own, different interpretations of the Bible.

One important reason why the Catholic Church was committed to defending the literal meaning of the Bible was the fact that the Church believed that if people did not subscribe to the literal meaning of the Bible, they might instead decide to interpret it on their own. This could have catastrophic consequences, as they could start to believe that they were capable of living as a Christian without the guidance of the Church, and the institution would lose its power over its followers.

In what ways does the Declaration reflect France’s specific problem and crises
valentina_108 [34]

"The principle of all sovereignty lies essentially in the nation." The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen considers legitimate the revolt of the deputies against the absolute monarchy, when declaring as the indispensable right of the man the "resistance to the oppression".

Meaning this that the declaration of the rights of man and of the citizen is the one that declares the principles in the society, leaving behind practices, institutions and principles of the Old Regime. What was lacking basically in France, they were Old Regime.
