You didn't provide the excerpte, but the Declaration of Independence's strong overall theme is that <u>people are born with natural rights</u>.


Perhaps the most memorable phrase from the Declaration is this: "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."


It is also the case that the Declaration of Independence supports the idea that government's power should be determined by the people. The very next words in the Declaration assert, "To secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed."


The founding fathers of the United States had adopted ideas about natural rights and the people's sovereignty from Enlightenment philosophers like John Locke (of England) and Baron de Montesquieu (of France).

Answer:

Women struggled for so long to gain the right to vote in the United States because society expected women to take care of their family and not participate in politics, women's rights activists debated women's suffrage, and the fact that it was a crime to vote for women.   In the text it states that society had many expectations for women, such as running a household and not commenting on politics; yet, in reality, many women worked outside the home and got involved in communities.  Furthermore, since society believed women should do certain things, they were treated less than men when they broke those expectations.  The passage says that some women that were a part of the women’s rights movement did not want the right to vote because they thought it would ruin the support for other women’s rights.  This means that the public thought the idea of woman suffrage was ridiculous, making it hard for women to convince people to consider it.  The paragraph states that some women tried to vote in 1872 but were arrested and made a setback in the women’s rights movement because the ruling said that it was a crime for women to vote.  This explains that because it was a crime for women to vote, it was difficult for them to realize and achieve the goals they wanted, especially voting rights.

The analysis of the climate of a specific region would be included in this scientific discipline
mihalych1998 [28]
It would either be A or B because meteorology deals with the sky and paleontology deals with fossils of dinosaurs. Geography would make sense because it says the climate of a specific region. Climatology would makes sense because it is talking about the climate. I'm and 6th  grade and I know this stuff. Sad =(
