Jefferson begins the introduction to the Declaration of Independence by stating his major premise and giving examples and then explains the relationship between the colonies and Britain. (A) The Declaration of Independence of the United States of America is a statement of independence, declared at the meeting of the Second Continental Congress at Pennsylvania State House (today Independence Hall) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on July 4, 1776.

EXPLANATION  

The declaration explained that the Thirteen Colonies fought against the British Empire. The Thirteen Colonies regarded themselves as thirteen sovereign and independent countries, no longer under British rules. Through this Declaration, they took strategic steps towards forming the United States of America.  

This important task fell to Thomas Jefferson, a Virginia lawyer who at that time was at the age of 33. Jefferson in his assignment was enthused by the English Enlightenment thinker John Locke whose works on government put forward two ideas that would be very important to Jefferson:

 

- That all humans are born with “natural rights,” including the right to protect their lives, liberty, and property

 

- The government is a “social contract” amid the citizen and their leaders, which can be liquified if leaders fail to promote the people’s welfare

In the introduction of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson explains the way a government should function. In the body of the document, he illustrates how the king of England is not living up to these expectations. he describes how each specific branch of Britain’s monarchy should operate. he illustrates the steps the colonies will take to overthrow the king. he describes the steps the king must take to maintain the colonies.

Jefferson begins the introduction to the <em>Declaration of Independence</em> by stating his major premise and giving examples, and then explains the relationship between the colonies and Britain.

<h3>Further Explanation</h3>

The <em>Declaration of Independence</em> begins by stating that it is necessary to state the reasons that caused the colonies to separate themselves from Britain. The next paragraph goes on to state all of the truths that people believe should be afforded to them under the laws of humanity, along with what people should be allowed to do if these rights are violated. Then it goes on to show how Britain violated these rights with the American colonies.

Wrong Answers

B. While the unalienable rights of all people are mentioned in the introduction, they are not fully explained in his introduction. He just lists them as "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". We learn more about these rights as we see how Britain has violated them later on in the document.

C. It is clear from the <em>Declaration of Independence</em> that Jefferson believed that governments should always represent their people. It is not however explained explicitly. It does show how governments must do right by their people in respect to the basic laws of humanity, unalienable rights.

D. The <em>Declaration of Independence</em> is not a declaration of war. While it does address the fact that the colonies will forcibly oppose British rule and any efforts Britain makes to keep control of the colonies, the <em>Declaration of Independence</em> does not outright state that it is choosing to wage war against Britain.

Answer:

The sociological significance of categorizing groups into dominant and minority groups is that the fact of recognizing the existence of majority racial groups in our country also implies recognizing the power that they have at the political, economic and social level, so the greater the number of people of said racial group, the greater their participation in politics and the national economy. And if we add certain socioeconomic characteristics, we can be in the presence of majority groups that control practically all of national politics, such as the case of whites in the United States, where 45 of the 46 presidents of the nation have been of that race.

What's the best example of a unreliable narrator
Mumz [18]

An unreliable narrator is a narrator that cannot be trusted because his/her version of the story isn´t completely correct for various reasons, such as his/her mental state or the fact that s/he may not be objective.

The best example of an unreliable narrator is one who narrates the story from a first person perspective. Sometimes the readers know it from the very start of the story that the narrator is unreliable while other times this is revealed gradually throughout the story or even at the end of the story.
