The Declaration of Independence was merely a document declaring just that, the colonies' independence from the British crown. It contained three parts. The first section, the Natural Rights Theory, which listed the ideas that all men are created equal and they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights. The second section, Grievances against the King, which listed, quite extensively, the ways <em>King George III  </em>had misused his power and acted like a tyrant, such as imposing taxes and tariffs without consent, cutting off trade, and keeping a standing army against the colonies. The third section,  the Declaration of Independence from the British Empire, establishes the colonies to be in open rebellion and to be fully independent.

The Bill of Rights is the first 10 amendments from the Constitution of the United States of America. It lists the inalienable rights the framers of the Constitution believed the American people held. The Bill of Rights is a piece of legislature, it conveys the personal freedoms enjoyed by all Americans, such as the right to free speech, the right to petition the government, the right to keep and bear arms, the right to a fair and speedy trial, and right against unlawful search and seizure, to name a few. The Constitution can be altered, and has been, 27 times. The Declaration of Independence does not need to be amended, as it merely declared our independence from the British crown.

Although both extremely important documents for the American people and American history, the Constitution is apart of our everyday lives, whether we know it or not. The freedoms we experience in the United States is due to the Constitution's stipulations about such freedoms. The Declaration was, and still remains, just a declaration of independence.

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

A. The Spanish Civil War diverted European powers’ attention from Hitler’s expansionist desires in Western Europe.

Explanation:

The Spanish Civil War or Spanish War, also called by the Spaniards as Civil War par excellence, was a warlike conflict -which would later also affect an economic crisis- that was unleashed in Spain after the partial failure of the coup d'état in Spain. July 17 and 18, 1936 carried out by a part of the Army against the Government of the Second Republic. After the blockade of the Strait and the subsequent airlift that thanks to the rapid collaboration of Nazi Germany and fascist Italy, moved the rebel troops to mainland Spain in the last weeks of July, 8 9 began a civil war that would conclude on April 1, 1939 with the last part of war signed by Francisco Franco, declaring his victory and establishing a dictatorship that would last until his death on November 20, 1975. The war had many facets, as it included class struggle, war of religion, confrontation of opposing nationalisms, struggle between military dictatorship and republican democracy, between revolution and counterrevolution, between fascism and communism.

What was not a source of energy introduced during the late 1800's?
xenn [34]
<span> In the last quarter of the 19th century, all four items were sources of energy. Kerosene was commonly used for lighting, electricity was beginning to replace gas lighting and steam was used to power boats, trains, and certain kinds of industrial machinery. Gasoline was the primary fuel of the automobile, or "horseless carriage," which appeared in the 1890's. Of these four, however, steam was introduce the earliest. The concept of the steam engine goes back to ancient times. However, the steam engine was really introduced as a common source of energy early in the 18th Century. So while kerosene, gasoline, and electricity as an energy source were all developments of the 19th century, Steam power is at least a century (and maybe more) older. </span>
