Answer:

This will help alit

Explanation:

Drafting the Declaration of Independence in 1776 became the defining event in Thomas Jefferson's life. Despite Jefferson's desire to return to Virginia to help write that state's constitution, the Continental Congress appointed him to the five-person committee for drafting a declaration of independence. That committee subsequently assigned him the task of producing a draft document for its consideration. Drawing on documents, such as the Virginia Declaration of Rights, state and local calls for independence, and his own draft of a Virginia constitution, Jefferson wrote a stunning statement of the colonists' right to rebel against the British government and establish their own based on the premise that all men are created equal and have the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.Through the many revisions made by Jefferson, the committee, and then by Congress, Jefferson retained his prominent role in writing the defining document of the American Revolution and, indeed, of the United States. Jefferson was critical of changes to the document, particularly the removal of a long paragraph that attributed responsibility of the slave trade to British King George III. Jefferson was justly proud of his role in writing the Declaration of Independence and skillfully defended his authorship of this hallowed document.

Why were sncc organizers willing to put themselves at such personal risk
Alika [10]
The Student Nonvioent Coordinating Comittee (SNCC) was a group that protested segregated facilities all over the US. They put the themselves at risk and refused to be violent despite the physical violence to prove a point to American society. They wanted to show that African-Americans are mature and that they were not the source of the problem. This was a way to show that African-Americans deserved equal treatment in American society.

What are some of the things the United States has done to fight terrorism since 9/11? Be specific and give examples.
Mars2501 [29]
We increased security after 9/11, in airports, schools etc. As and example, your luggage has to be much lighter than it was before 9/11.

I think we should have a specific group that checks everyone's history and record if they have one, before they enter the plain, my example is 9/11, if they would have done that they would have known that they were not American residents and the bendanes they wore was a cult.

They commit acts of terrorism believing that killing themselves and you that they are going to heaven. And I think they should be 1. wiped off the planet, for the simple fact that they will never change so we have to try to get rid of them, or 2. lock up everyone of them we can in a supermax prison so they can never see daylight again.

I hope this helps!
