One of the most obvious contradictions found in both the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights is the fact that neither document acknowledges the problem that slavery presents.

The Declaration of Independence states that the United States is a "free" country. It also highlights the negatives of being a subject to Great Britain. The colonists refuse to be subjects because they recognize the importance of freedom for a person. However, they fail to recognize that this liberty is equally important to the slaves who do not enjoy it.

On the other hand, the Bill of Rights states many of the rights and protections that American citizens enjoy. Nevertheless, it fails to understand that for these protections to be significant, they should also be granted to African Americans.

<u>Answer:</u>

As opposed to stating that there are logical inconsistencies inside the Independence Declaration, it is increasingly exact to state that there are variances between the expressions of the Independence Declaration and the activities of the individuals who marked it.

The principle logical inconsistency is in the possibility that all men are made equivalent and that they have the natural right to "life, freedom, and the quest for satisfaction. However, this was not a contradiction itself.

pshichka [43]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

In 1950s , through Rock n Roll, many blacks or African American used the genre of music coupled with R&B to voice their opinions and advocate for civil rights movement.

Rock n Roll was characterized by its youthful and stylistic sound and dance, popularized by the likes of Elvis Presley, with his hip gyration. While it eventually pitted parents, the mass media, and the government against teenagers, it however, helped erode some of the prejudices felt towards African Americans.

Also, while the country and jazz hold sway before and early in the 1950s, the Rock and Roll music was able to trump them later, though dividing in some quarters, it became a uniting force among the youths and coloured people specifically blacks, and eventually was able to create a common culture amongst white and black teenagers, a feat other genres of music couldn't manage at the time.
