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".

Compare and Contrast How were slash-and-burn agriculture and
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

slash-and-burn agriculture and chinampas

Explanation:

The Aztec lived in wet areas. For farming, they used the chinampas to grow crops like corn, beans and squash. Chinampas were man-made islands, raised land on the surface of lake shallow waters. Chinampas were made of soil and rotten vegetation and dirt from nearby areas which allowed the crops to grow fast.

The Maya used the Slash and Burn method to farm. They would cut down all the trees and burned the stumps to clear the land for farming. The burning of vegetation provided fertile soil from the ashes. The Maya grew the same crops as the Aztec.

Both the Empire use different methods of farming to crow crops. They both rely on farming for crops. They both grow the same crops like corn, beans and Squash which also known as the three sisters as planted together.
