FromTheMoon [43]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<em>That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.</em>

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence held many influences of the Enlightenment movement, especially the works of John Locke.

John Locke had an interesting view of the social contract, he believed that men had natural rights (life liberty and property) and that people united created a government that would secure these natural rights.

But Locke also defended that when the government failed to defend these rights people had the right to form a new government as a way to protect their rights.

How does the Trail of Death change Equa-Ke-Sec's<br><br> life?
just olya [345]

Answer:

The Trail of Death gave Equa-Ke-Sec a strength and survival instinct she didn't have before.

Explanation:

Although you did not present the text to which this question refers, we can consider, in the context of the question, that you are referring to "The Long March" written by Peggy King Anderson.

In this story, Equa-Ke-Sec is a Native American child of the Potawatomi tribe, who was forced to walk for long days from his homeland to the West because of the ambition of the American settlers to possess the sacred lands of the Potawatomi. The trip was extremely tiring, violent and with few resources. Many people died and others became seriously ill, including Equa-Ke-Sec, but she resisted and survived. This difficult episode of her life, was full of difficulty, but it gave a great strength and an instinct to survive unbeatable that she passed on to her daughters, who passed on to her granddaughters and so on.

To pay reparations after World War I, Germany
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

To pay reparations after World War I, Germany printed more money.

Explanation:

After the end of World War I in November 1918, France and Great Britain imposed on the defeated Germany the payment of war reparations for the destruction caused during the conflict.

The German government issued paper money to pay the reparations of war, calling Papiermark to these new issues. Due to the emergencies arising from the conflict, the Papiermark lacked of gold backing and was not convertible into this precious metal, which was an unusual situation for the time, where the gold standard scheme required all the paper money issues of a country were backed by gold, precisely to guarantee its value. As a result of this situation, Germany entered into a period of hyperinflation.

The nineteenth amendment achieved one of the stated goals of which event nearly 70 years earlier?
Viktor [21]

Correct answer:

<h2>F. Women's Convention at Seneca Falls</h2>

Further details:

The national meeting in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848, was the first women's rights convention to be held in the United States, and was organized by women.  Elizabeth Cady Stanton was one of the principal organizers of the gathering, and also was the lead author of an important document issued by what we now call the "Seneca Falls Convention."  The <em>Declaration of Sentiments</em> was signed by 68 women and 32 men who had been among the participants in the convention. The document was modeled after Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence.  In the way that Jefferson had listed grievances against the British monarchy, the Declaration of Sentiments listed grievances against how man had oppressed woman in regard to civil rights.  

The Seneca Falls convention was a significant starting point for the women's rights movement in the US.  The 19th Amendment, which granted voting rights to women, did not happen till about 70 years later.

The 19th Amendment to the Constitution reads as follows:

  • <em>The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.</em>
  • <em>Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.</em>

The proposal to add such an amendment was first introduced in Congress in 1878, but Congress did not pass the amendment till 1919 -- after the experience of women taking on greater roles in the country during the First World War.  The amendment achieved ratification by a sufficient number of states and was added to the Constitution by August, 1920.
