Answer: TRUE
Details:
The Declaration of Independence (1776) famously asserted, "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." America's founding fathers tended to speak in religious terms associated with the Christian tradition, even though a number of them were more like Deists in their own beliefs. Deists believe that there is a God who created the world, but set it up to run by natural laws and did not intervene in a personal way in its operation.
The Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen (1789) was less overt in ascribing the rights of human beings to God as Creator. That declaration of the French Revolution stated, "The National Assembly recognizes and proclaims, in the presence and under the auspices of the Supreme Being, the following rights of man and of the citizen." They were taking using more overtly Deist language, acknowledging a Supreme Being that was the reasonable force governing all things, but seeing human beings in society granting rights according to the actions of a just government.

A. publishing false, damaging information about people
Explanation:
The purpose of including the freedom of press in the First Amendment was to ensure that people could publish their honest opinions about sensitive topics without getting in legal trouble for it. However, publishers can be sued for defamation if the information they are sharing isn't true. Defamation is the damaging of someone's reputation. A publisher can get into legal trouble if they share information about someone that isn't true in order to damage that person's reputation.
Answer:
The transition from Paleolithic to Neolithic is one of the most important moments in human history. During the Paleolithic, which comprises about 99% of human history, our ancestors were hunter-gatherers, and lived a nomadic lifestyle.
The Neolithic started around 12,000 in the near east, more specifically in the Levant and Mesopotamia, and was marked by the adoption of agriculture, and the change from a nomadic lifestyle to a sedentary lifestyle.
During the Neolithic, agriculture allowed the production of surplus food that allowed the divison of labor and the founding of the first cities such as Jericho and Damascus.
The verdict of the Plessy v. Ferguson case was that "separate but equal" laws were justified or allowed to exist. This basically meant that states had the right to keep blacks and whites separate at separate facilities as long as they were equal.
Unfortunately, the separate facilities were not equal for blacks and there was terrible treatment and equality for a long time in American history throughout the 20th century.
When the Civil Rights Movement became more popular in the 1950s, decisions like Plessy v. Ferguson were overturned, allowing blacks and whites to go to the same schools. This started with the case of Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, and other schools began to integrate after this important case.
There were still issues with people being treated equally, even though it became the law to treat people equally. With the Civil Rights Act of 1964, this outlawed all segregation in public places, so there would be no more segregation at restaurants, movie theaters, etc.
Some states tried to block this integration with their own ways and laws and in some places, things turned violent with race riots.
Even though places were being integrated at a faster pace, it was difficult for some people to accept the views of everyone being equal.
