the declaration opens with a preamble describing the document's necessity in explaining why the colonies have overthrown their ruler and chosen to take their place as a separate nation in the world.


All men are created equal, and there are individual unalienable rights that governments should never violate. These rights include the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. When a government fails to protect those rights, it is not only the right but also the duty of the people to overthrow that government. In its place, the people should establish a government that is designed to protect those rights. Governments are rarely overthrown, and should not be defeated for trivial reasons. In this case, a long history of abuses has led the colonists to overthrow a tyrannical government.


<span>In drafting the </span><em>Declaration of Independence</em><span>, Thomas Jefferson (along with Benjamin Franklin, John Adams and other members of a committee assigned to prepare this seminal document) knew that he had to present a solid legal and moral foundation upon which to build support for secession from the British Crown. Independence from Great Britain was not universally supported, and Jefferson recognized the importance of presenting the case for independence in a cogent, persuasive manner.</span>

Although writing the Declaration of Independence was not the only contribution of Jefferson to the life of the colonies, it was one of his most significant ones. In the Declaration, Jefferson expresses his political ideals. He conveys his opinion on what government should be like, and the responsibilities it should have towards its citizens.

Jefferson draws heavily on other legal documents of the time, such as the Virginia Declaration of Rights and his own draft of a Virginia constitution. With this in mind, in the Declaration, Jefferson established that the colonists have a right to rebel against Great Britain if they feel their rights are not being protected and their complaints are not being listened to. Jefferson starts by claiming that all men are created equal, and that they all have the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He argued that Great Britain was not making sure that these rights were being protected, which gave the colonists the right to rebel.

Determine whether the sentence below is simple or compound. the store is usually open by now, but the owners may be on vacation,
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:  Compound

THE 4 SENTENCE STRUCTURES

<span>The simple sentence is one of the four basic sentence structures. The other structures are the compound sentence, the complex sentence, and the compound-complex sentence.</span>

<span> <span>Simple sentence: I purchased a tour guide and a travel journal at the bookstore.</span> </span>

a simple sentence is a sentence with only one independent clause.

<span> <span>Compound sentence: I purchased a tour guide and a travel journal, but the bookstore was out of maps.</span> </span>

a compound sentence can be thought of as two (or more) simple sentences joined by a conjunction and/or an appropriate mark of punctuation.

<span> <span>Complex sentence: Because I was planning to visit Tokyo, I purchased a tour guide and a level journal.</span> </span>

 a complex sentence is a sentence that contains an independent clause (or main clause) and at least one dependent clause. Put another way, a complex sentence is made up of a main clause with one or more dependent clauses joined to it with an appropriate conjunction or pronoun.

<span> <span>Compound-complex sentence: While Mary waited, I purchased a tour guide and a travel journal at the bookstore, and then the two of us went to dinner. </span> </span>

a compound-complex sentence is a sentence with two or more independent clauses and at least one dependent clause<span>. Also known as a complex-compound sentence.</span>

Identify the following sentence as simple, compound, complex, or compound-complex.
<span>The store is usually open by now, but the owners may be on vacation, or maybe they're just late today.</span>

What should be a topic sentence for building a snowman?
ipn [44]
A topic sentence presents the main gist of the whole paragraph or article. So, if you want to talk about building a snowman, your topic sentence could be about why building snowmans are of relevance. Then, your supporting details could now include steps or advices on how to build it. 

A good topic sentence I could think of is:

<em>During the yuletide season, building a snowman is a good activity to do with family and friends because it promotes team-building and fun interaction.</em>
