History
1 answer:
Luba_88 [7]2 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.

Art [367]

The answer is:  Society, women, government

Wollstonecraft believed that the society has imposed a strong gender roles that put women's value beneath the Men's. Making it impossible for women to compete in the professional field and advance.

She also put some of the blame to women at that era, who simply sit idle and accept the mistreatment given to them, and to the government who did not intervene with the situation through legal methods.

A primary purpose of constitutional government which
Anna35 [415]

A primary purpose of constitutional government , which subjects governments to fundamental laws is to achieve <u>limited Government.</u>

    What is mean by limited government?

  • The idea of a government with restricted powers is known as limited government in political philosophy.
  • Constitutions and limited government are intimately related; the French Constitution of 1793 and the United States Constitution of 1789 both sought to reinforce limited government, albeit in different ways.
  • The separation of powers established by the U.S. Constitution led to limited government. While "vertical" separation of powers (federalism) divided power between the federal government and the state governments, "horizontal" separation of powers distributed power among the three branches of government (the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary, each of which serves as a check on the other).
  • The Framers of the American Constitution aimed to establish a government that could be controlled as well as exercise control, according to James Madison, one of the authors of the Federalist Papers.
  • On the other hand, the French Constitution of 1793 upheld legislative supremacy and was founded on the notion that rational democratic self-governance, the best counterbalance to the arbitrary rule of absolute monarchy, was the best means of achieving limited government.
