Jefferson notes that “all men created equal”, suggesting that this was “self evident”. What is meant by this statement

History
1 answer:
aliina [53]3 years ago
8 0

Jefferson wrote all men are equal which meant that people were born with some inalienable rights like right to live free without being under the control of others.  

Although in reality, Thomas Jefferson had many slaves under his control and he had progeny from one of his slaves. That statement proclaimed that every individual has to be included regardless of race, religion or gender.  

But when he wrote ‘All men are equal”, he may have not considered women and slaves. It may sound hypocritical but it has taken more than a century to really internalize the meaning of equality.

What are the "natural rights" of man, where did they come from, and how are they "self-evident"?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The "natural rights" of a man is the rights you're born with. They came from you being born or the constitution. And they are "self-evident" because you don't have to explain what you're doing like when you're getting a house you don't really have to explain why you want that house. (All they might care about is the money you're paying them lol)

Explanation:

Natural Rights- Things like getting property or a house or something like that.

Hope this helped!

How did the Pendleton act (1883) affect the executive branch of government?
Debora [2.8K]

A is the correct answer.

The Pendleton Act was designed to make sure that people in government were actually qualified for their jobs and just not there for patronage.

Patronage was a great way for the Executive branch to get stuff done, so it had an impact.
