Jefferson delays mentioning the American colonies until late in the introduction. how does this delay affect his argument

History

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 did the fall of the Berlin Wall symbolize? The end of communism in Germany The fall of all communist countries The control
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

The fall of all communist countries

Explanation:

The Berlin Wall was a physical border set in the city of Berlin which was dividing the communist and democratic part of it. The people were not able to communicate, move between the two sides, or even see each other. The wall was set by the Soviets, and it represented very well how their politics was. When this wall finally was taken down after three decades, it meant that Germany was united again, and that the communism came to an end in the country. The symbolism of the fall of the Berlin Wall though is much wider, and it not only symbolizes the end of communism in Germany, but across most of the world, as it coincided with the period when the Soviet Union was falling apart and numerous countries got independent, free to make their own decisions, and become democratic societies.

finlep [7]
The united states entered the war because Germany was using submarines to sink our trading ships, they also sunk a passenger ship called the Lustitania, which killed many civilians. Another reason they entered war was because Germany sent  the Zimmerman telegram that they sent to Mexico to try to have them enter the war against us. The telegram said that if they helped Germany, Germany would help them get land back that they lost during the <span>Mexican–American War</span>.
