Answer:

Thomas Jefferson, a man of great contradictions. He was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States but he was the owner of slaves.

One question would be:  Are really all humans equal by nature? Men´s natural-born rights of life, freedom were only applicable to white people and not to black slaves.

Second question: Can you hold that men can improve their destiny by their own actions but keep slaves who are deprived of the realization of their own will at the same time?

In at least two paragraphs, discuss whether you believe the framers of the U.S. Constitution created a democracy.
kipiarov [429]
<span>Certainly not. The United States has never, since its founding, consisted of a small number of citizens, still less of citizens that could practically assemble in one place at one time and debate their actions. A pure democracy in this classical Greek city-state sense was never practical, and was not seriously considered.
 
What the Framers created was a constitutional representative republic. Sovereignty is vested in the people, like a democracy (and unlike a constitutional monarchy), but the people do not rule directly. Instead, they elect representatives, at regular intervals, and these rule in the peoples' stead. Their powers are limited, first, by the fact that they are elected for only short terms, and must be re-elected if they wish to continue in power, and secondly, and much more importantly, by the Constitution itself, which puts express written limits on their powers even between elections.</span>
