<h2>Both declarations emphasize that persons have natural rights that are to be preserved and protected.</h2>

Explanation:

The Scientific Revolution had shown that there are natural laws in place in the physical world and in the universe at large. Applying similar principles to matters like government and society, Enlightenment thinkers believed that using reason will guide us to the best ways to operate politically so we can create the most beneficial conditions for society. John Locke and other Enlightenment era thinkers wrote with strong conviction that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved. Each individual's well-being (life, health, liberty, possessions) should be served by the way government and society are arranged.

The Declaration of Independence states these Enlightenment views on natural rights in this way:

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.

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen opens with this assertion:

The representatives of the French people, organized as a National Assembly, believing that the ignorance, neglect, or contempt of the rights of man are the sole cause of public calamities and of the corruption of governments, have determined to set forth in a solemn declaration the natural, unalienable, and sacred rights of man, in order that this declaration, being constantly before all the members of the Social body, shall remind them continually of their rights and duties.

The ideas the Declaration of the rights of man and the citizen and the Declaration of Independence were based on the concept of equality and freedom belonging to everyone from birth. The natural rights of man and citizen were declared freedom of the person, freedom of speech, freedom of opinion, the right to resist oppression.

Answer:

Society

Explanation:

Hobbes was a political philosopher who argued the necessity of a "social contract" (a government). Governments provide order and security. Without a government, the Earth would exist in a "state of nature", of lawlessness and chaos, and no society can exist in that type of environment.

Why were the Seminoles a threat to Georgia? A) they control the tobacco industry, which was closely tied to Georgia's economy B)

ollegr [7]

Answer:

Seminoles were a threat to Georgia because (C): They sheltered runaway slaves and would not return them.

Explanation:

The term Seminole was the name of a tribe of Native America which was formed by the people who had settled in Florida in the 18th century, especially in Georgia and Alabama. The Seminoles formed their own identity and traditions such as the use of ritual beverages and tobacco and therefore became independent from other groups.

During the 17th century, many black slaves started escaping from Georgia to Spanish Florida looking for liberty, which was given to them in exchange of protecting the town. As the Seminoles started to welcome all escaped African slaves, and even accepted the intermarriage with the former ones, their group started expanding until they eventually come to be known widely as the Gullah people.

Several countries including Georgia, showed their irritation of the situation and caused the US army to invade the Seminoles territory in order to recapture the escaped slaves.
