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.

The zoot suit riots in Los Angeles revealed which of the following? (5 points) Select one: a. the failure of the Congress of Rac
Vikentia [17]

Answer: c. the racial tension between Mexican Americans and mainstream society.

The zoot suit riots of 1943 were a series of conflicts between European white Americans (particularly those in the military service) and predominantly Mexican youth. The trigger for these was the youth’s preference for “zoot suits.” This type of suits required a lot of fabric to be made, which was seen by the white Americans as unpatriotic, because of the rationing of fabric that was established during the war.

While this specific reason was the main trigger, the riots also showed the underlying racial tensions that were found in American societies, particularly in large cities. The riots also seemed to have been the inspiration for several similar events that year in Philadelphia, Oakland, Chicago, San Diego, Evansville and New York City.
