Luba_88 [7]3 years ago
5 0

The Declaration of Independence is an act declaring the independence of 13 US colonies under British rule. It is the first formal act of a representative body proclaiming the principle of national sovereignty.

Explanation:

  • The declaration was made on July 4, 1776 by the Second Continental Congress held in Philadelphia; that day in the US later began to be celebrated as National Independence Day.
  • The content of the Declaration was most influenced by Th. Jefferson. The Declaration is based on the settings of the School of Natural Law and the philosophy of J. Locke, while similar in structure to the European feudal charters of liberty, in particular the English Bill of Rights of 1688.
  • The declaration, in the introductory part, proclaims the inalienable natural rights of man to equality, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the right of the people to independence and the free choice of government, and the right of the people to rebellion and the removal of tyrannical power.
  • He then enumerates thirty violations of the rights of the colonies committed by the British king, justifying their rebellion; ends with the proclamation that the united colonies are free and independent states.

Is a social and economic system that features private ownership of property and free markets
solong [7]

A market economy has several aspects that characterize it. It is very rare that all of these aspects are realized completely.

1) In this type of economy the government doesn't intervene.

2) Resources are privately owned. Goods and services are given by the individuals.

3) There has to be freedom of choice to buy and sell whatever the people want. Freedom of enterprise to start any business you want.

4) Every entrepreneur sees for himself and looks to maximize their profit. They act on self interest.

5) Competition is very important for a market economy to work. <u>In theory</u>, when there's competition the market will regulate itself preventing price and power abuses and guaranteeing the best price for the costumer.
