What does this quote from the Declaration of Independence mean in your own words?

"We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The written law does not look at one's race but at the crime committed; the sentencing should not be dependent on the race of the convict. Even though Thomas Jefferson owned slaves to his death, I believe this is what Jefferson meant when he said "all men are created equal" — that Americans are entitled to equal justice under the law (Patterson 10).

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The quote is provided is basically saying:

As we are all made as equals in this world, we have also been give our own rights and freedoms when we enter this world. As my life belongs only to me, bestowed to me, and shall only be mine for me, I am to also given the right to have happiness, and the life I want to live.

I hope this helps you! :)

why was the Protestant Reformation a threat to the power that the Catholic church had over Europe?​

Answers

Answer:

The Protestant Reformation was a threat to the power that the Catholic Church had over Europe because the Catholic Church got all of their money from the members of the church. The Church sold indulgences to the people and told the people that if they did not buy indulgences, then they or their loved ones would not go to heaven. Protestants did not believe in the sell of indulgences, so this would cut the Catholic Church's money supply off big time.

[BRAINLIEST] How did the roles of women change during the Industrial Revolution? Explain how those changes varied by class.

Answers

At that time, women were just starting to join the work force. Women started to work in textile mills in coal mines.

Socialist values were emerging in the industrial revolution, as workers begin to protest and fight for more equal rights. I think that women caught onto the idea that they don’t have to be mistreated and things can change.

It must’ve varied by class though. Richer women probably didn’t go out to work in coal mines, they were already well off. Poor women worked hard and show first hand the struggles.

Read this excerpt from The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass.

The silver trump of freedom had roused my soul to eternal wakefulness. Freedom now appeared, to disappear no more forever. It was heard in every sound, and seen in every thing. It was ever present to torment me with a sense of my wretched condition. I saw nothing without seeing it, I heard nothing without hearing it, and felt nothing without feeling it. It looked from every star, it smiled in every calm, breathed in every wind, and moved in every storm.

What inference can be drawn about Douglass in this excerpt?

His new ideas are upsetting to his fellow enslaved persons.
He wants to read more about personal freedoms.
His new ideas prevent him from getting his work done.
He is unable to ignore the appeal of freedom.

Answers

Answer:

He is unable to ignore the appeal of freedom.

Explanation:

An "inference" refers to a conclusion based on the evidences gathered or presented.

Frederick Douglas is an American abolitionist and social reformer. He's popular for escaping slavery in Maryland. He had a few escape attempts before successfully gaining his freedom.  

The quote above was spoken by Douglas when he carefully thought about his condition as a slave and how it tormented him. As he became more educated and started reading books, he was awakened of the horrors of being a slave. Thus, he realized that he needed to escape and do something about slavery. Upon escaping, he settled with his wife and became an abolitionist and preacher.

Answer:

The answer must be D

Explanation:

I'm sure thinking about freedom gave him mixed emotions, if he thought about freedom he could either be happy thinking about freedom but then be sad because he realizes that he's not a free man.
