Examine the usage of the words bequeath and posterity in this excerpt from Thomas Paine's Common Sense. Then complete the senten

ces that follow. The authority of Great Britain over this continent, is a form of government, which sooner or later must have an end: And a serious mind can draw no true pleasure by looking forward, under the painful and positive conviction that what he calls "the present constitution" is merely temporary. As parents, we can have no joy, knowing that this government is not sufficiently lasting to ensure any thing which we may bequeath to posterity.

Answer:

The complete sentences are:

According to Paine, the government of Great Britain will bequeath nothing that will endure to the colonists.

He also implies that the posterity of any nation has the right to blame their predecessors for their suffering.

Explanation:

The meaning of the word bequeath is to leave something after your death in a literal definition, then in the excerpt, it means that Great Britain won't leave anything of value to the colonist after they're gone.

The meaning of the word posterity in a literal way is the descendants in a family, then in here, it is mention that future generations will live in the place that their predecessors have created and will have the right to blame them if these conditions are not good.

How does human trafficking affect human rights?​
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Human trafficking is not just a heinous crime. On top of being a disgusting criminal activity, it's also violating the rights of human beings in general. It's an outright atrocious violation of the human rights. The people who get trafficked are treated like worthless items by the traffickers. The traffickers trample all over the victims as if they are animals. They make their decisions for them, give them no respect whatsoever, don't let them move freely, and lastly, they don't let the victim choose who they can work for and where they can work at etc. In human trafficking, activities such as child labor, sexual exploitation of minors as well as legals, forced labor, forced bondage as well as marriage take place; these acts are the violation of human rights per se. All the previously mentioned acts and practices are prohibited by the International Law of Human Rights.
