Which passage from the declaration of independence conflicts with the practice of slavery

History

Dmitrij [34]3 years ago

This statement in the Declaration of Independence conflicts with the practice of slavery:

  • "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."

If those same rights were given equally to all men, then it would go against God-given rights to hold people in slavery.

We might want to note that in Thomas Jefferson's original draft of the Declaration of Independence, he also had included a strong statement that condemned the evil of the slave trade.  Yes, Jefferson himself owned slaves he had inherited, but saw an eventual emancipation of slaves as something that would need to be done over time.  The paragraph in the draft of the Declaration said that the King of England "has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty" by capturing, transporting and selling human beings from the distant land of Africa.  He called the "market where men should be bought and sold" an "execrable commerce" carried on by authority of the British crown.  ("Execrable" is an adjective related to excrement -- something extremely nasty.)  Georgia and South Carolina would not join in voting for independence from Britain unless the paragraph about the evil of the slave trade was omitted, and so it was omitted from the final version.  But the idea that all are created equal and all persons have rights would mean there's no real room for slavery in a country based on rights and freedom.

Genghis Khan was a leader with lot of great qualities, and he is regarded as a great leader, one of the greatest in history in fact.

Explanation:

Genghis Khan was a Mongol ruler of the Mongol Empire. He managed to unite the Mongol tribes and make them the greatest power of their time. Genghis Khan also set the foundations for the formation of the largest empire that the world has seen until then, only to be surpassed in size by the British Empire few centuries later.

This Mongol ruler possessed many great qualities. He was very wise, excellent tactician, loved his people, was establishing peace on the conquered territories, encouraged people of ethnic and religious backgrounds to collaborate and coexist. It is very interesting that Genghis Khan can be seen bot as a nationalist and as a liberal, from modern perspective of course.

His nationalist tendencies are seen in the fact that he loved his country, he loved his people, and he made sure that every Mongol has all of the basic needs for life secured. On the other side, his liberalism can be seen in the fact that he had nothing against people of other ethnic, cultural, and religious backgrounds, but instead he was encouraging all people to put their differences aside, collaborate, and help each other for the benefit of everyone. All in all, Genghis Khan was an excellent leader, and a model as to how many other leaders should have been in that period of time.
