The Neutrality Acts in general, which were passed in the 1930s, were passed as Europe was once again moving towards armed conflict. The US was a very isolationist country after World War I and wanted to make it clear to the world that they would not intervene.

Answer: natural rights
Explanation:
A strong overall theme of the Declaration of Independence is that people are born with natural rights. Perhaps the most memorable phrase from the Declaration is the one you quoted, which uses the term "unalienable rights" as an equivalent for natural rights. Because the rights belong to us by nature, we cannot be separated or alienated from those rights.
Thomas Jefferson (writer of the Declaration of Independence) and other American founding fathers got their ideas about natural rights from philosophers of the Enlightenment, such as John Locke (1632-1704). Locke strongly argued that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved. Locke's ideal was one that promoted individual freedom and equal rights and opportunity for all. Each individual's well-being (life, health, liberty, possessions) should be served by the way government and society are arranged. The American founding fathers accepted the views of Locke and other Enlightenment thinkers and acted on them.
John Locke, in his<em> Second Treatise on Civil Government</em> (1690), expressed these ideas as follows. Notice similarities to what is said in the Declaration of Independence (1776) ...
- <em>The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions… (and) when his own preservation comes not in competition, ought he, as much as he can, to preserve the rest of mankind, and may not, unless it be to do justice on an offender, take away, or impair the life, or what tends to the preservation of the life, the liberty, health, limb, or goods of another.</em>
The main way in which the US involvement in the spanish-american war represented a shift from isolationism to intervention is that this was the first time the United States had really committed troops and resources to a war that had seemingly no effect on the expansion of US borders. It was more done out of altruism.
One of China's notable achievements is A. a complex system o writing.
Its ancient form was originated from the practice of divination, finding the first inscriptions on pieces of bones and tortoiseshell. One of the facts that makes it notable is that, until relatively recently, Chinese writing was used more widely than alphabetic writing systems.
In its beginning, Chinese writing was based on the pictures of objects which represented concepts (<em>logographic</em>), to signs representing the concepts themselves.
