The Preamble quote that most specifically refers to natural rights: "[T]hey are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

John Locke was one of the first of the Enlightenment era philosophers.  The Enlightenment's emphasis on reason was in contrast to superstition and traditional beliefs.  The Scientific Revolution had shown that there are natural laws in place in the physical world and in the universe at large.  Applying similar principles to matters like government and society, using reason will guide us to the best ways to operate politically so as to create the most beneficial conditions for society.  This included a conviction that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved.    Locke's ideal was one that promoted individual freedom and equal rights and opportunity for all.  Each individual's well-being (life, health, liberty, possessions) should be served by the way government and society are arranged.

Which is not true about the population of Central America?
GenaCL600 [577]

The correct answer is "Most of the people of East Asian and South Asian descent live in Honduras.".

The majority of the people in Honduras share the same ethnical background as their Salvadorian counterparts. In other words, the majority of the population are mestizos. However, there is a small group of people (less than 1% of the population) which are Northern African descendants and are predominantly white.

I could add a fourth category that you could consider in your answer if you are allowed to do that.

Fourth: the leaders of the movement

In point of fact, all of them were effective. The Supreme court heard many cases on the right to vote and the right to be treated as though color were not a determining factor on voting rights. These cases helped bring about the Civil Rights act of 1964 and the Voting rights act of 1965. It put teeth into the 15th amendment, all of which you should look up.

Martin Luther King made a huge impact on Civil Rights. One of key ideas that he had was civil disobedience. Even that was strongly opposed by people like Governor George Wallace. That aside, civil disobedience was a method that peaceful people could tie into and participate in. Look up Rosa Parks as the primary example of someone very welling to stand her ground.

When you look up the Civil Rights act you will see that the Federal Government played a key role in making and enforcing key laws.

The people were ready to determine their rights as citizens. The time was right to unite the participants. Even students themselves were involved in "the people" many of whom were from many parts of the United States. You could google students civil rights movement. People your age were very influential.
