Montesquieu's views and studies of governments led to him to believe that government corruption was probable if a system of government didn't include balance of powers. He conceived the idea of separating government authority into the three major branches: executive, legislative and judicial.
Thomas Jefferson is the one most responsible for writing the Declaration of Independence.
- The king refused to assent to laws that were wholesome and necessary for the public good.
- The king had forbidden colonial governors to enact laws or implement laws without his assent (which, as the prior point noted, he was in no hurry to give).
- The king forced people to give up their rights to legislative assembly or forced legislative bodies to meet in difficult places that imposed hardships on them.
- The king dissolved legislative assemblies and then refused for a long time to have other assemblies elected.
- The king obstructed justice in the colonies and made judges dependent on his will alone for their salaries and their tenure in office.
- The king kept standing armies in place in the colonies in peacetime, without the consent of the colonial legislatures.
- The king imposed taxes without the colonists' consent.
There were more items listed by Jefferson, but you get the idea. He was justifying revolution by proving tyranny was standard operating procedure by the British monarchy.
Answer:
I guess this is Just my opinionated answer but its all I could think of- the reason that the question is controversial is all of the subjects within the question are still to this day considered below the average white man. and each and every one of those subjects have fought to get to the amount of power they have today almost equally, and 10x harder than the average white man. ill explain:
Explanation:
women: woman got the right to vote in 1920- this is the 19th amendment to the U.S constitution- it took 19 amendments for a woman in this country to have a voice. before that- woman could barely breathe in public without being burned at the stake (AHEM: salem witch trials) and women still to this day arent taken seriously- we just got our 1st female vice president Kamala Harris- and the bitter (primarily white men) make it a point to say that women should not be in a position of power- and if they are THEY DEFINITELY SLEPT WITH THEIR BOSS. but let a woman attack a mans ego and he dams all women
Natives: well lets just start with the fact that THE COLONIZERS stole the land that was originally owned by natives- they were kinda there first . and then the FACT that the British turned around and KILLED every native they came in contact with. and then the natives had to deal with IMPERIALISM which was basically forcing the white mans ways on any other race, culture, religeon, or ethnicity- because the white man concidered it uncivilized to be different.
chicanos: mexican american war: mexico used to own California, new Mexico, arizona, and texas but one of the previous presidents sold them to the US to avoid a boarder war. - well guess what that didnt stop very much. because yes 1,000s of immigrants are legally (and illegally) crossing the boarder into a new life- but racism is everywhere and latin American people were even forced to pick grapes at 1 point.
african American: SLAVERY, the civil rights movement, police brutality, these are just some of the things they had to face- and still have to today. and they continue to fight for the rights that others are just born with.
so the progress, the success- in general- id say is about the same- speaking about how hard the history (and present day) was and is for all of these subjects. that in its self is how i believe that the question is controversial
(excuse the long explanation)

Explanation:
Answer:
all citizens may be able to vote regardless of colour or social status and the government does not have the authority to change this (shall not be denied or abridged by the United States), but this does not include women as they do not strictly mention gender. Previous condition of servitude likely refers to how slavery was abolished and that former slaves shall also have the voting right.
Explanation:
"The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or <em>previous condition of servitude</em>."
