Answer:

<u>Natural and legal rights</u>

Explanation:

The sources and interpretation of the Declaration have long been the subject of scientific research. The declaration justified the independence of the United States by listing colonial grievances against King George III and affirming certain natural and legal rights, including the right to revolution. After serving its original purpose of declaring independence, references to the Declaration were few during the next eighty years. Abraham Lincoln made her the focal point of his rhetoric and politics. Since then, it has become a well-known human rights statement, and in particular its second sentence:

<u>We hold these truths in themselves obvious, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain inalienable rights by the Creator, and that they are among them for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. </u>

This phrase has been called "one of the most famous sentences in the English language,"  because it contains "the most powerful and significant words in American history." That passage became an example of the moral standard that the United States should strive for. This view was greatly promoted by Abraham Lincoln, who considered the Declaration to be the basis of his political philosophy, and argued that the Declaration outlined the principles by which the Constitution of the United States should be interpreted. It has served as the inspiration for numerous national declarations of independence around the world.

Short answer is Islam spread from Arabia into Africa in 600s
The Muslim conquest of the Maghreb  continued the century of rapid Arab Early Muslim conquests following the death of Muhammad in 632 AD and into the Byzantine-controlled territories of Northern Africa. In a series of three stages, the conquest of the Maghreb commenced in 647 and concluded in 709 with the "Byzantine" Roman Empire losing its last remaining strongholds to the then-Umayyad Caliphate
By 642 AD, under Caliph Umar, Arab Muslim forces had laid control of Mesopotamia (638), Syria (641), Egypt (642), and had invaded Armenia, all previously territories split between the warring Byzantine and PersianEmpires, and were concluding their conquest of the Persian Empire with their defeat of the Persian army at the Battle of Nahāvand. It was at this point that Arab military expeditions into North African regions west of Egypt were first launched, continuing for years and furthering the spread of Islam.
