Jefferson wrote all men are equal which meant that people were born with some inalienable rights like right to live free without being under the control of others.
Although in reality, Thomas Jefferson had many slaves under his control and he had progeny from one of his slaves. That statement proclaimed that every individual has to be included regardless of race, religion or gender.
But when he wrote ‘All men are equal”, he may have not considered women and slaves. It may sound hypocritical but it has taken more than a century to really internalize the meaning of equality.
Answer:
The theme chosen was "change in the main agreements built in the Versailles Treaty"
Explanation:
Gentlemen, when reading and analyzing the provisions established in the Treaty of Versailles, I felt the need to bring them together so that together we can discuss these provisions so that we can foresee possible harmful consequences for us and for all nations in the world.
Although Germany was one of the main culprits for the establishment of the war that caused us so much harm, I am afraid that the treaty established, will reinforce resentful feelings in the German population, regarding the difficulties that the treaty impose in the recovery of this region.
I fear that these feelings will trigger political and social movements that will stimulate a population revolt that results in yet another conflict to which we will be involved.
With that, I propose that some points of the Versailles Treaty be modified and that the punishments for Germany be milder in some ways. I do not ask for Germany to be pardoned, but for the treaty to propose punishments that allow the population to recover and have a dignified life, because despite the regrets, we are all human beings and in addition to paying for our mistakes, we must be able to maintain our dignity.
Hernan Cortes (1485-1547) was a Spanish colonizer and conqueror, who leaded the conquest of the Mexican territories, that started in 1519 with the occupation of Veracruz. The tales about the sacking of the Mexican capital, Tenochtitlan, are still legendary nowadays.
After the takeover of Veracruz, Cortes gave the order of sinking his own ships (it was thought they were burnt, but nowadays that hypothesis is being questioned). Anyway, he destroyed his ships on purpouse to force his men to go forward and conquer the New World, both in the militar and spiritual (goal of spreading the Christian religion) dimensions.
- Agreement with his decision: of course it is an incredibly effective manner of ensuring that his men would be motivated to conquer the territory, mainly because they did not have an alternative choice. They had to become rulers there or be lost in the middle of unknown lands. It can be claimed how the ultimate goal justifies the means.
- Disagreement with the decision: it can be argued how unethical is that he prevented his men from deciding if they wanted to participate or not on the mission. He eliminated the choice.

Answer:
Labor is an indispensable source of economic production, and all other things being equal, more labor contributes to more economic production. During the second industrial revolution factories took full advantage of human labor but set aside workers rights. Following the technological revolutions of the early industrial age, large factories engaged in mass production, supplemented workshops and small foundries. The manufacturing sector expanded from 2.4 to 10 million workers and manufacturing employment grew more than twice as fast as the workforce as a whole from the years 1880 to 1920.
This era of industrial growth transformed American society creating a new class of wealthy entrepreneurs and a comfortable middle class. The increase in industry resulted in a growth among the blue-collar working class. This labor force was made up of millions of newly arrived immigrants and vast numbers of families migrating from rural areas to cities with the hope of job security and prosperity.
