I agree.

First, let's take a look at the beginning of the Gettysburg Address:

"Fourscore and seven years ago our father's brought forth, on this continent, a new nation, concieved in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal..."

(This is off the top of my head so please forgive me if I missed a few words or punctuation.)

When writing this, Abraham Lincoln was giving the citizens of the United States a bit of a history lesson. He explains that the Founding Fathers believed "all men were created equal" and implicitly states that him and everyone else share a common ancestor when he says, "...our fathers."

With that, let me explain why I wholeheartedly agree that "We the People," is the most important phrase in the Constitution:

That small excerpt from the Preamble creates a sense of togetherness, liberty, and suprisingly, justice. Before America gained it's independence, there was no "We the People." There was a monarch who did as he wished. There wasn't any so called, "free speech" and there certainly wasn't a sense of togetherness. Once 'Merica cut ties with the Tories and gained independence, they had to establish their own government. So the Founding Father's, dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal, upheld a government that is not a monarchy but a democracy. A democracy is a "government by the people, exercised either directly or through elected representatives." In England, you Americans did not have that choice of electing individuals to rule. You did not have a choice as a people. Well in America, you/we were granted freedom and free speech. And now that "we the people" are all "created equal" we can look back to those first three words of the Preamble and see the important history behind them.

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Between 1300 AD and 1400 AD the trend in the Americans was the increase of population; in 1300 AD there were 32 million people in the Americas, and in 1400 AD there were 39 million. So, before the European arrival, Indian populations were on the rise.

In Europe and in Asia, the trend was the decrease of the population, an event in which the deadly plague and other diseases played an important role. In 1300 AD there were 70 million people in Europe and one hundred years later, only 52 million. In Asia, in 1300 AD there were 83 million people in China, and in 1400 AD, there were 70 million. In India, the figures are 100 million and 74 million , respectively.

Muslims believe that
Crank

Answer: The Answer is either  D) only by dying in jihad can heaven be obtained or C) religion should be divorced from politics.

Its not A because Muslims only pray to one god which is Allah (swt)

And its not B because they Jews people don't worship Allah (swt)

But another thing is that when Muslims die in jihad and they do it on a real purpose reason to defend thier country and they will go to Heaven, But it they do it on purpose like to kill thier selve because they want to go to heaven it wont happen. They would have to have Niyah which mean like having the feeling to do it not just doing it.

Hope this help's :D
