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"

In order to make the louisiana purchase, what justification did the government use?
Paraphin [41]
President Jefferson endorsed the purchase but believed that the Constitution did not provide the national government with the authority to make land acquisitions. He pondered whether a constitutional amendment might be needed to legalize the purchase. After consultations Jefferson concluded that the president's authority to make treaties could be used to justify the agreement. Therefore, the Louisiana Purchase was designated a treaty and submitted to the Senate for ratification. The Senate ratified the treaty October 20, 1803, and the United States took possession of the territory December 20, 1803.

iren2701 [21]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The reasons and historical events that led to the creation of the United Nations were the following.

The historical events can be traced back to the end of World War II, after the Allied forces defeated Germany, Japan, and Italy. The world witnessed too much suffering and destruction like never before seen. Even more, with the launching of the atomic bombs over Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan.

There were some previous charters, treaties, and agreements that inspired the foundation of the United Nations. We are talking about the Declaration of St. James Palace of 1941, teh Atlantic Charter of 1941, the Yalta Conference of 1945, and in the same year, the San Francisco, California Conference in the United States. All these works served to establish the foundation of the United Nations on October 24, 1945.

The United Nations differed from the League of Nations in that teh League of Nations was the result of the agreement between the main European superpowers after World War I, without the participation of the United States. Meanwhile, the United Nations was the result of the idea of 50 nations during the conference of San Francisco, California. There was a plurality of ideas that enriched the agreements to create the United Nations. Another important aspect of the UN that did no have the League of Nations, was the capacity of the UN to come up with resolutions that could be enforced. And this was not the case of the League of Nations. Another important consideration is that the United Nations promotes peace around the world, supports the progress of societies in all nations, and invites for the respect of human rights.
