Answer:

Declaration of Independence.

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence provides a foundation for the concept of popular sovereignty, the idea that the government exists to serve the people, who elect representatives to express their will.

In 1776, the thirteen British colonies in North America were rebelling against British rule, after more than a decade of strife over taxation and government representation. As the Revolutionary War got underway, representatives from each of the colonies agreed it was time to put forward a statement expressing the colonies’ reasons for desiring independence.

This momentous task fell upon Thomas Jefferson, a 33-year-old Virginia lawyer. Jefferson was inspired by the English 

Enlightenment

 philosopher John Locke, whose writings on government put forward two ideas that would become quite important to Jefferson:

That all humans are born with “natural rights,” including the right to protect their lives, liberty, and property

That government is a “social contract” between people and their rulers, which can be dissolved if rulers fail to promote the people’s welfare.

Which country most influence the development and legacy of the traditional American cowboy
yuradex [85]

Cowboys originated in Mexico.

When the spanish conquerors arrived, they started stablishing ranchs and farms, and the role of the <em>vaquero </em>(from the spanish word <em>vaca</em>) was coined to  name the men who took care of the livestock, and who were also good with certain skills like herding, roping and riding.

As the ranching practices were spread, so did the culture of the cowboy, including their clothing style and their skills.

The first cowboys had different backgrounds like Mexican, Native American and African American, among others.

Explaining Why did slavery continue to spread after the Revolutionary War? How did the drafting of the Constitution reflect a gr
lions [1.4K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Slavery continued to spread after the Revolutionary War because southern landlords needed slaves to continue the production of crops. These slaves worked for long hours in the southern plantations under risky conditions. Indeed, the southern economy depended so much on slaves.

The drafting of the Constitution reflected a growing divide between Northern and Southern states on the question of slavery in that slaves were considered or be counted as three-fifths of a person.

Although framers such as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson -who, by the way, owned slaves- opposed the institution of slavery, delegates during the Constitutional Convention of 1787 in Philadelphia Pennsylvania agreed on establishing a limit to allow slavery in the United States until 1808. This created more tense moments and divided the nation.
