History

Pepsi [2]4 years ago
6 0
Some women who were involved in the abolitionist movement became aware that women had their lives restricted in some ways that were not unlike the restrictions put on slaves. At the anti-slavery convention in London in 1840, women delegates were not allowed to speak and were relegated to the gallery. 

<span>Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton got talking about the unfairness of this situation, and this gave them the idea for having a convention to discuss women's rights, though it did not actually take place until 1848, at Seneca Falls. </span>

<span>Elizabeth Cady Stanton and other female abolitionists saw some similarities between the unfairness which with slaves were treated, and the unfair situation many women found themselves in, married women not being able to own property for instance, or obtain a divorce from a husband even if he was cruel or brutal to her.</span>

(20 points :) ) Which claims about the declaration of the rights of man and the declaration of independence are true? (select al
solmaris [256]

The correct answers are: the declaration of independence speaks of a divine creator and the declaration of the rights of man speaks of a supreme being. Both documents drew on the "natural law" philosophy of John Locke.

Indeed, the Declaration of independence explicitly mentions the Creator in the preamble:

“"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen mentions the Supreme being in its preamble as well:

“In consequence whereof, the National Assembly recognises and declares, in the presence and under the auspices of the Supreme Being, the following Rights of Man and of the Citizen.”

Finally, although both documents draw on the natural law philosophy of John Locke, the American version is more traditional in that it considers that such rights are given to humans by a deity or transcendent being of the same kind while the French version is more secular.
