Dear Colonist:

It is my pleasure to address this topic as the King of England has violated our natural rights and we shall join forces to strive for our lives. I shall begin by defining “Natural Rights.” The term has first conveyed by John Locke and Greek scholars who define Natural Rights as Divine given privileges.  

Creation has provided natural beings, not only humans, with rights. We have been bestowed with innate privileges by our Creator and those liberties cannot depend on the laws or customs of any particular culture or government and as such, they ought to be universal and inalienable which means that they cannot be restrained by human laws. Natural laws differ from legal laws in that the latter have been granted by a given legal system thus can be modified by humans. Some examples of Natural Rights are: 1. The right of property; 2. The right to be treated fairly regardless of religion, ethnic background or, gender; 3. The right to life; 4. The right to liberty; 5. The right to the pursuit of happiness;  6. The right to defend oneself; 7. The right to an opinion. Liberty is crucial for all the others depend upon it.

We English citizens proclaim that King George III has disregarded our Natural Rights as he has control over the judges preventing colonists that are arrested from having fair trials thus neglecting our right to be treated fairly. Colonists are being forced to house soldiers in transgression of their right of liberty. Colonists have to pay high and unfair taxes without the liberty to be represented in parliament and give an opinion. High taxes hinder our right of property and pursue of happiness.

I urge you to join our forces as we all strive for our innate rights to be preserved.

Yours truly

Thomas Jefferson

From the maps, when
Mars2501 [29]
In 1860,Abraham Lincoln was elected as U.S. president but his election was accepted by many southern states who decided to secede from the U.S. and form the Confederate States Of America with 6 other states(and eventually 11 all together)

cause-Lincoln had only won the election with 40% of the popular vote,which meant that the majority of the country did not support his ideals-especially anti-slavery sentiment.

Which principle was most fundamental to the authors of the United States Constitution?
ruslelena [56]
It's 3. After fighting in the revolutionary war, most of the founding fathers agreed that they wanted to step as far away from a strong ventral government since that's what they tried to escape in the first place. this then leads up to the 2nd continental congress being so weak, they can only advise the completely sovereign states from making bad decisions. otherwise known as the articles of confederation for when it gave full state power to basically act as if they were they're own nation.
