The Declaration of Independence asserted America's independence from Britain. The document outlines the natural rights of men an

d how the British government had infringed upon those rights. It is a revolutionary document in more ways than one. It attempted to show the legal and moral basis of the war for independence.‬
The concept of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” as natural rights of human beings is rooted in Enlightenment thought. This part of the Declaration of Independence can be traced very directly to Locke's writings. The idea is that we are born with these rights. If governments do not respect them, people have the right to overthrow that government. That's what the Americans did.



What is the purpose of the second paragraph of the passage?

A
to describe the history of the writing of the Declaration of Independence

B
to explain how the Declaration used the ideas of John Locke and the Enlightenment

C
to detail how the American colonists won the Revolutionary War

D
to support the claim that Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence

A man by the name of Abner Doubleday is the true inventor of baseball. true or false?
Ronch [10]
That's a myth. The Doubleday myth refers to the belief that the sport of baseball was invented in 1839 by future American Civil War general Abner Doubleday in Cooperstown, New York. Abner Graves presented a claim that Doubleday invented baseball to the Mills Commission, a group formed in 1905 that sought to prove whether the sport originated in the United States or was a variation of rounders. Graves' evidence was accepted by the Commission, and in 1908 it named Doubleday as the creator of baseball. The claim eventually received criticism, and most modern baseball historians consider it to be false.The myth nevertheless led to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum's being located in Cooperstown.
