Answer:

At the beginning of the Declaration of independence, it says "<em>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that </em><em>all men are created equal</em><em>, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--</em>"

Yet, there was slavery for a century after that... and discrimination that still exists today, proving that the reality doesn't follow this ideal statement.

In such documents, "men" usually includes both sexes. So, how come for example the women needed to wait over 140 years to get the right to vote?

These are very important clashes at the core of the ideals of the American Revolution.

To have been a more realistic view of the reality, the Declaration should have said "the white males" instead of "men".

The form used to file income taxes is a _____.
Alexxx [7]
The correct answer is tax return.

Tax returns are filled out by millions of Americans on a yearly basis. This form allows the government to understand your work history, the wages you earned during the fiscal year, and how much you paid in taxes. This will allow the government to assess whether you paid too much or too little in taxes. If you paid too much, you will get a refund. If you paid too little, you are responsible for sending the government the difference that you owe.
