The Declaration of Independence is structured in five fundamental parts: Introduction, the Preamble, the Charge of George III, the Denunciation of the British, and the Conclusion. The Introduction contains statements stating that people have the ability to assume political independence under Natural Law. Followed by the Preamble which contains the summary of the general philosophy of government that justifies a revolution when the government damages natural rights. The Accusation is a list of "repeated insults and usurpations." The Denunciation, speaks of the end of the case of independence. The Conclusion shows that the signatories affirm that there are conditions under which the people must change their government, and it is necessary that the colonies announce their separation and dissolve their ties with the British crown. Firmantes, the first and famous signature in the official version is John Hancock, the president of the Continental Congress. Two future presidents, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams, are signatories.

icang [17]

Hello. You did not present the title of the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered exactly. In the meantime I will help you in the best possible way.

A war is an environment of death, decay, problems, sadness and destruction. For Nat to compare her own situation to a war, she must be involved in these terrible factors. Nat's situation, therefore, must be a situation of misery and destruction, where she cannot find rest and happiness, but has the feeling that everything is falling apart around her and where she feels no security at all.

What do the words absolute Despotism mean as they are used in paragraph 2? (Declaration of Independence)

oee [108]

The words absolute Depotism in paragraph 2 of the Declaration of Independence refer to complete and cruel domination. The word absolute Despotism describes leadership by a government that is completely free from constitutional or democratic controls on its power. In the 2nd paragraph of the Declaration of Independence the writer Thomas Jefferson first describes how a government should not be rejected for "light and transient causes"; he recognizes that small or temporary problems are not enough for a change of government. However, he continues to state that when there is "a long train of abuses and usurpations" then the people are right and even have a duty to declare their independence.

What is the main idea of the short story the Convict and the Bisiop

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

At the beginning of October 1815, a disreputable-looking traveler enters Digne on foot. In spite of his money, he is repeatedly refused food and shelter for the night with harsh words and threats. A fierce hound routs him from a doghouse when he mistakes it for a worker's hut. Despairingly he sums up his plight with the pathetic cry, "I am not even a dog!"

On the advice of a kind passerby, he tries the door of Monseigneur Myriel. He bluntly introduces himself as Jean Valjean, an ex-convict recently released from prison. To his surprise, the bishop welcomes him warmly, inviting him to share his supper, giving him advice, and finally offering him a bed for the night. Even more remarkable, he treats Valjean with unfailing courtesy and ignores the stigma of his past.

Valjean's past is a tragic story. Originally a primitive but uncorrupted creature, when he was twenty-six years old he was condemned to a five-year jail term for stealing a loaf of bread to feed his widowed sister and her large family. Repeated attempts to escape lengthened his sentence to nineteen years. In jail, the merciless treatment he endured corrupted his fundamental potentialities for good into an implacable hatred for society. The continuous hostility he has encountered since his release has only confirmed this hatred.

The bishop's kindness moves Valjean profoundly but does not regenerate him. Rising stealthily in the middle of the night, the ex-convict steals his host's silver from a cupboard above the sleeping man's

head — indeed, he is prepared to kill the bishop if he wakes. The police, however, catch him when he is making his escape and bring him back to the bishop. This time his crime will bring him life imprisonment. However, Monseigneur Myriel pretends that the silverware is a legitimate gift and in a gesture of supreme kindness even adds his candlesticks to it — the only objects of value he has left. As Jean Valjean is leaving, he exacts his reward: "Don't forget," he tells the astonished man, "that you promised me to use this silver to become an honest man."

Still Jean Valjean's conversion is not complete. On a deserted road, he steals a coin from an itinerant chimney sweep, Little Gervais. But this last contemptible act sickens him of himself, and in a paroxysm of remorse he resolves to amend his life.
