Frederick Douglas uses metaphors in this chapter such as <em>“…and thereby run the hazard of closing the slightest avenue by which a brother slave might clear himself of the chains and fetters of slavery”</em> to tell the reader that enslavement is not just a restriction of liberty of one’s body but also the restriction of one’s soul. The mind of a slave is not free. Douglas also lets the reader know that even though himself is free from slavery physically, his mind and spirit is not because society did not create conditions so he can feel like a completely free man.

Frederick also mentions “<em>I have never approved of the very public manner in which some of our western friends have conducted what they call underground railroad…” </em>By underground railroad he that meant the secret and illegal routes and houses that helped slaves to escape to free cities.

He compares some men that were “money kidnappers” - men who gained money to bring back slaves who fled to nonslave states as - <em>“ferocious beasts of the forest like in wait for their prey”</em>

skad [1K]

Answer:

Among the options given on the question the correct answer is otion A.

It Was Written By The Colonists To Ask The King To Protect Their Rights And To Tell Him They Wanted Peace. It Was Rejected By The King.

Explanation: The Olive Branch petition was a petition adopted by the continental congress to the British king which was adopted on July 5,1775 and was signed three days later.

The purpose of the petition was to avoid the war between the thirteen American colonies and the British.This petition affirmed the American loyalty to the Great Britain and asked the King George III to protect the rights of colonists. They also wanted to avoid the war by affirming the loyalty to the British king.But the  British king rejected to read the letter and declared the proclamation of rebellion and announced the American colonies as the  rebellion states.

However, this rejection led the Continental congress of the colonies to announce for their independence.

Therefore, the answer is option A.

Briefly explain Marx, Owen, and Adam Smith and how they connect to the different "isms”.
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

...“The father of modern economics supported a limited role for government. Mark Skousen writes in "The Making of Modern Economics", Adam Smith believed that, "Government should limit its activities to administer justice, enforcing private property rights, and defending the nation against aggression." The point is that the farther a government gets away from this limited role, the more that government strays from the ideal path... How this issue is handled will decide whether the country can more closely follow Adam Smith's prescription for growth and wealth creation or move farther away from it.”

Jacob Viner addressed the laissez-faire attribution to Adam Smith in 1928...

Here is a list of appropriate activities for government, which goes way, way beyond Mark Skousen’s extremely limited – and vague – 'ideal' government. That ... he goes on to attribute his ‘ideal’ list to Adam Smith ... is not alright.In fact, its downright deceitful, for which there is no excuse of ignorance (before attributing the limited ideal to Adam Smith we assume, as scholars must, that Skousen read Wealth Of Nations and noted what Smith actually identified as the appropriate roles of government in the mid-18th century).
