Why doesn’t the declaration of independence address the women’s issues discussed and Abigail Adams letter?

History
1 answer:
serious [3.7K]3 years ago
7 0

Though in her letters Abigail Adams adresses her husband with the issue of women being deprived from education and the impossed tyranny of some men over their wives, and though she asks him to "Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favorable to them than your ancestors" (quote, letter Abigail to John, March 31, 1776) in the new Code of Laws , his answer was not as favorauble as expected.  

John Adams, member of the Continental Congress, laughed at his wife petition, and said though in theory men are in charge "in Practice you know We are the subjects" (quote, letter John to Abigail, April 14, 1776).  

The letters were private, men's mentality was not yet changed, and the fight for women's rights was left to the years to come.

Which statement correctly describes British rule in India? Question 9 options: The British East India Company established tradin
Nastasia [14]
  • The British first assumed control of India by fighting a terrible war
  • The British East India Company only handled company business matters.

India was considered the most important colony of the British Empire and, therefore, the term British India was coined. The territory of India was under total control of the United Kingdom.

British India was a multicultural environment, formed by different races, languages ​​and religions, especially the Indo-Europeans and the Mongolian race. In this period, the territory of India had more than 3 thousand languages ​​and dialects and the religion of Brahmanism (Hinduism) was the most important.

England had a viceroy in Indian territory, who represented the highest authority in the colony and was responsible for accountability to the British Empire in London.
