These two are correct:

  • All men have natural rights.
  • The purpose of government is to protect natural rights.

Explanation:

The Scientific Revolution had shown that there are natural laws in place in the physical world and in the universe at large.  Applying similar principles to matters like government and society, Enlightenment thinkers believed that using reason will guide us to the best ways to operate politically so we can create the most beneficial conditions for society.  John Locke and other Enlightenment era thinkers wrote with strong conviction that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved.  Each individual's well-being (life, health, liberty, possessions) should be served by the way government and society are arranged.

The Declaration of Independence states these Enlightenment views on natural rights in this way:  

  • <em>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.</em>

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen opens with this assertion:

  • <em>The representatives of the French people, organized as a National Assembly, believing that the ignorance, neglect, or contempt of the rights of man are the sole cause of public calamities and of the corruption of governments, have determined to set forth in a solemn declaration the natural, unalienable, and sacred rights of man, in order that this declaration, being constantly before all the members of the Social body, shall remind them continually of their rights and duties.</em>

torisob [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

I tend to side with those who think civil liberties are extremely important; they are almost written in stone. They were put in the constitution to protect citizens from governments misusing their power. The government is so much more power than any one person and perhaps any one group. Moreover, they make the laws. The Bill of Rights (the first 10 amendments) are meant to make sure citizens at least have the opportunity to exercise those rights.

However there are times when the rights go a little to far. Numerous times since 1968, introduced various proposals that attempted to protect the rights of the American Flag. On those occasions either congress or the Supreme Court protected the individual by saying burning the flag comes under the First Amendment -- freedom of expression.

My own opinion is that many people have died defending the flag. I don't know that free speech is more powerful than the right to burn a sacred symbol. I think there are limits to free speech.

What were some other long term cause of the Great Depression
jolli1 [7]

A few of the causes of the great depression are stated/listed below from various sources and is accurate information

1. Stock Market Crash of 1929 - Many believe erroneously that the stock market crash that occurred on Black

Tuesday, October 29, 1929 is one and the same with the Great Depression. In fact, it was one of the major causes that

led to the Great Depression. Two months after the original crash in October, stockholders had lost more than $40

billion dollars. Even though the stock market began to regain some of its losses, by the end of 1930, it just was not

enough and America truly entered what is called the Great Depression.

2. Bank Failures - Throughout the 1930s over 9,000 banks failed. Bank deposits were uninsured and thus as banks

failed people simply lost their savings. Surviving banks, unsure of the economic situation and concerned for their own

survival, stopped being as willing to create new loans. This exacerbated the situation leading to less and less

expenditures.

3. Reduction in Purchasing Across the Board - With the stock market crash and the fears of further economic woes,

individuals from all classes stopped purchasing items. This then led to a reduction in the number of items produced

and thus a reduction in the workforce. As people lost their jobs, they were unable to keep up with paying for items

they had bought through installment plans and their items were repossessed. More and more inventory began to

accumulate. The unemployment rate rose above 25% which meant, of course, even less spending to help alleviate the

economic situation.

4. American Economic Policy with Europe - As businesses began failing, the government created the Smoot-Hawley

Tariff in 1930 to help protect American companies. This charged a high tax for imports thereby leading to less trade

between America and foreign countries along with some economic retaliation.

5. Drought Conditions - While not a direct cause of the Great Depression, the drought that occurred in the

Mississippi Valley in 1930 was of such proportions that many could not even pay their taxes or other debts and had to

sell their farms for no profit to themselves. The area was nicknamed "The Dust Bowl." This was the topic of John

Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath.
