Answer:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Explanation:

The US Declaration of Independence was very influenced by the Enlightenment movement, especially by the philosopher John Locke. John Locke defended that all humans have natural rights, which don’t depend on any country's laws. Those rights are life, liberty, and property.

"they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"

In writing this, Jefferson is in many ways copying John Locke, the enlightenment philosopher, who wrote of man's inalienable rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of property"

Why do you think the Republican Party gave up on supporting civil rights for African Americans in 1877
makkiz [27]

Answer:

They didn't.

Explanation:

The Democratic Party was against civil right for African Americans well into the 70's. The Republican Party was responsible for the freeing of slaves, the first African American senator was Republican, and it was also the Republicans that passed the Civil Rights Act in 1964, ending public segregation. In fact, the Democrats even conducted a 14 hour and 13 minute filibuster to try and delay the legislation.

Franklin Roosevelt's "State of the Union Address, 1941," excerpt
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Improving pensions, unemployment insurance, medical care, and employment opportunities

Explanation:

He says, "No person should try, or be allowed, to get rich out of this program; and the principle of tax payments in accordance with ability to pay should be constantly before our eyes to guide our legislation." which indicates it has nothing to do with war, the military, or free speech.

Before this he also says, "Many subjects connected with our social economy call for immediate improvement. As examples:

We should bring more citizens under the coverage of old-age pensions and unemployment insurance.

We should widen the opportunities for adequate medical care.

We should plan a better system by which persons deserving or needing gainful employment may

obtain it." then goes on to talk about sacrifice.
