Answer:

The correct option is C

C) 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, among these are Life, Liberty and pursuit of happiness.

Explanation:

American rule of law is based on the idea that the increase in government means decrease in liberty, hence limits should be put on government. It also states that individual is the property of no other individual. It means that each individual is free, sovereign, and master of the government. It states that:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."

Answer:

False in actually upheld the rules of racial segregation in the United States for the next 50 years with it being overruled by Brown V. The Board Of Education

Explanation:

Plessy v. Ferguson was a landmark 1896 U.S. U.S. Supreme Court decision that upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the “separate but equal” doctrine. The case stemmed from an 1892 incident in which African American train passenger Homer Plessy refused to sit in a car for Black people.Rejecting Plessy’s argument that his constitutional rights were violated, the Supreme Court ruled that a law that “implies merely a legal distinction” between white people and Black people was not unconstitutional. As a result, restrictive Jim Crow legislation and separate public accommodations based on race became commonplace.
