Thomas Jefferson is the one most responsible for writing the Declaration of Independence.

  • The king refused to assent to laws that were wholesome and necessary for the public good.
  • The king had forbidden colonial governors to enact laws or implement laws without his assent (which, as the prior point noted, he was in no hurry to give).
  • The king forced people to give up their rights to legislative assembly or forced legislative bodies to meet in difficult places that imposed hardships on them.
  • The king dissolved legislative assemblies and then refused for a long time to have other assemblies elected.
  • The king obstructed justice in the colonies and made judges dependent on his will alone for their salaries and their tenure in office.
  • The king kept standing armies in place in the colonies in peacetime, without the consent of the colonial legislatures.
  • The king imposed taxes without the colonists' consent.

There were more items listed by Jefferson, but you get the idea.  He was justifying revolution by proving tyranny was standard operating procedure by the British monarchy.

What is a characteristic of prehistoric
puteri [66]
The prehistoric era predates writing. Human progress included primitive tools and weapons, clothing, fire, cave art and burial of the dead. During the Old Stone Age, human beings were learning, but they were learning slowly. Then around 10,000 years ago progress began to speed up, with developments like agriculture, the domestication of animals, the creation of permanent villages and cities, etc. Writing began to appear around 5,000 years ago (around 3,000 BC) and that may be the beginning of what we call history, since we begin to know what people were thinking as well as what they were doing.

Who did the ACLU hire to defend John T. Scopes after he was arrested for teaching evolution
Vsevolod [243]
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) hired Clarence Darrow to represent John T Scopes.

The Scopes Trial was a famous case during the 1920's that involved whether or not the theory of evolution should be taught in school. This case was focused around the idea of how do religion and science mesh in the public school setting. The ACLU hired Darrow for this case due to his incredible background and success as a defense attorney in the US.
