What argument does Thomas Jefferson make in this excerpt from the Declaration of Independence?

English

soldier1979 [14.2K]3 years ago

Thomas Jefferson states that the natural rights of the people (of life, freedom, and to pursue happiness) can not be restricted in any way by any government, being inalienable rights on which the very existence of the Nation is based. Thus, if a government exceeds the regulation of these rights, it will be a right of the citizens to depose it and appoint a new government, since these come from citizenship and exercise the powers that it derives from the people.

How is reading a work of literature related to your own personal beliefs and opinions?
kykrilka [37]
Reading a work of literature is often related to one's personal beliefs and opinions because when you read something you often connect what you read with what you know and this affects your beliefs and opinions about the book but also about general things, as well as vice versa. Once you read a book, this further increases and changes your stance on certain things. It therefore changes your opinions and beliefs.

Margaret [11]
Even though I haven't read the story, based on textual clues in these sentences I would say the correct answer is <span>B. “The waiting man pulled out a handsome watch, the lids of it set with small diamonds.”
The reason why is that you can't really have a watch lined with diamonds unless you've worked really hard to get it. This man has hustled his whole life and in the end, he has done well for himself in life, which is evident by his expensive watch. </span><span>
