How does John jay expose the hyporcritical nature of slavery in his 1786 quote?

History

spayn [35]3 years ago

We perceive that a great breach has been made in the moral and physical systems by the introduction of moral and physical evil; how or why, we know not; so, however, it is, and it certainly seems proper that this breach should be closed and order restored.

That men should pray and fight for their own freedom, and yet keep others in slavery, is certainly acting a very inconsistent, as well as unjust and, perhaps, impious part.

It is much to be wished that slavery may be abolished. The honour of the States, as well as justice and humanity, in my opinion, loudly call upon them to emancipate these unhappy people. To contend for our own liberty, and to deny that blessing to others, involves an inconsistency not to be excused.

Do lobbyists exert influence among all three branches of government? Why or why not?
Illusion [34]
The correct answer is that yes, they advise on rules and legislation and file briefs with the courts. They lobby with the legislative and the executive powers to change laws or implement new measures, while they file briefs with courts as a part of the judicial branch. A brief is when they write a document giving their opinion as to why a side should win in a case.

What are the differences between the Declaration of Independence and the Declaration of Rights of Man?
notka56 [123]

airly uncanny.

The American Declaration of Independence came first, signed on 4, July, 1776, and was the inspiration for the French Declaration of the Rights of Men and Citizens which was enacted 13 years later.

The American declaration was intended to bring freedom to the American people, and they believed that British colonialism and royalty stood in the way of such freedom, similar to the first Claus of the French declaration sharing the terms that; all men are created equal, and thus should be permitted to live in freedom and equality.

However, the American`s wished to liberate themselves from the taxation, militant nature, and expansionist tendencies of the British Empire, while the French Declaration was written by the French to constitute that the poor and working-class would not be neglected by royalty or nobility. In essence, the American Declaration was an attempt to fight for such freedoms, while the French Declaration was intended to legally enforce these rules. The American revolution ended in 1783, while the French revolution ended in 1799, each with relatively decisive victories.

Both of these documents, along with the Magna Carta,
