Answer:

In writing that "all men are created equal and endowed with certain unalienable rights", Jefferson was not in any way including women, slaves, Native Americans, or the poor.

On the contrary, the concept of citizenship in the 1700s (and therefore, the rights granted by the Constitution) was limited only to free, white men of a certain social status, who were the only ones who participated in politics and who they could exercise their rights without limitation.

Women, on the other hand, were in the background in the society of the time, being mere companions of the man, on whom they depended for most of the decisions. The natives and the poor resembled these, but they lacked their social status and were considered to be the last range of society. Ultimately, slaves were considered mere merchandise, and not people.

Although the American Revolution had among its main ideologies the idea of ​​equality and freedom, the truth is that its full application took several decades of social maturation and the struggle for rights.

How did the role of the Japanese emperor differ from Chinese emperor??
brilliants [131]
Japanese Imperial family had been around for milleniums, but Chinese Imperial family changed each time the dynasty had changed.

Why? While Chinese emperor was like a 'King' who ruled the country by power, Japanese emperor was more like the 'pope' who have had power at one stage but later turned into nothing but a subject of religious belief.

In China, the country had 13 different dynasties over 4 milleniums up until early 20th century when the 'Last Emperor' resigned. Each Imeprial family was extincted when a new one arose. The country was basically ruled by the Emperors throughout the history with exceptions of the periods of civil wars.

In Japan, the Imperial family was only in charge of the country before 11th century, and the small period after the Meiji Restoration and before WWII ended.

ololo11 [35]

Answer:

These acts made up slaves as dispensable, things, and not people.

Explanation:

Things like the Great Compromise would take slaves and make them count as lesser beings, and not as people. It's clear that people didn't like seeing these other people being treated as if they were nothing more than objects.
