I think that in delaying in mentioning the American colonies, Jefferson reveals his reluctance/lack of confidence in them and their fight for independence.

(*I didn't really know the context(I assume Thomas Jefferson), but just from a general character/human personality perspective, I believe this applies*).

Hope this helps! :)

- It draws readers into the argument and establishes that ideas apply to society.

At first, Jefferson talks directly about the problem. His goal is to make everyone focus the argument in a political perspective. After people understood this part of the argument, they would be ready to connect it with the context that was yet to be presented.

- It emphasizes that the principles involved are universal, not just American. 

At some point, he mentions what he called the "self-evident truths". That only means that what he speaks of is universal in his point of view. He points out the situation without connecting to their own situation before arguing about it because, at first, he wants everyone to see how wrong the situation itself is, to later say: "That's what is happening to us".

What does the quotation in the history in depth suggest about Joseph Chamberlain's view of British Imperialism in Africa?
Vlada [557]
Joseph Chamberlain (1836-1914) argued in favor of British imperialism in Africa.  He believed that the British empire existed for the sake of advancing British commerce and success. 
He asserted that maintaining empire in Egypt and elsewhere in Africa was as beneficial and necessary to British commercial success as maintaining India in a dependent condition toward Britain.  A key line showing his intentions was when he said, <em>"I approve of the continued occupation of Egypt, and for the same reasons I have urged upon this Government, and upon previous Governments, the necessity for using every legitimate opportunity </em><span><em>to extend our influence and control in that great African continent which is now being opened up to civilization and to commerce ... and it is for the same reasons that I hold that our navy should be strengthened--until supremacy is so assured that we cannot be shaken in any of the possessions that we hold."</em>  (June 10, 1896 speech)</span>

Why did Southern and Northern delegates disagree over whether the new Congress should have the commerce power? Southerners feare
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Northerners feared it would lead to the expansion of slavery.

Explanation:

The northerners believed that winning the struggle over the expansion of slavery was key to preserving their freedom because, if they could stop the practice and expansion of slavery into new regions where it was not being practiced, then they could prevent those regions from joining the slave-holding southerners who were interested in having more people in congress, and increasing their power in the country, and over the constitution: if the northerners could prevent the expansion of slavery, then they could influence national politics. On the other hand, the southerners believed that winning the struggle over the expansion of slavery was key to preserving their freedom because, if they could expand slavery into new regions, especially the northern region, then they could have more people in congress to protect their interest, make them become politically stronger, and have greater influence in national politics.
