ern language?
“When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the cause which impel them to the separation.”

Answer:

It asserts that Americans as a whole (and not as members of their respective colonies) are a distinct “people.” To “dissolve the political bands” revokes the “social compact” that existed between the Americans and the rest of “the People” of the British commonwealth, reinstates the “state of nature” between Americans and the government of Great Britain, and makes “the Laws of Nature” the standard by which this dissolution and whatever government is to follow are judged. “Declare the causes” indicates they are publicly stating the reasons and justifying their actions rather than acting as thieves in the night. The Declaration is like the indictment of a criminal that states the basis of his criminality. But the ultimate judge of the rightness of their cause will be God, which is why the revolutionaries spoke of an “appeal to heaven”—an expression commonly found on revolutionary banners and flags. As British political theorist John Locke wrote: “The people have no other remedy in this, as in all other cases where they have no judge on earth, but to appeal to heaven.” The reference to a “decent respect to the opinions of mankind” might be viewed as a kind of an international public opinion test. Or perhaps the emphasis is on the word “respect,” recognizing the obligation to provide the rest of the world with an explanation they can evaluate for themselves.

blondinia [14]

Answer:

Rome

Explanation:

The American government is a government that has been formed on the principles of two religions and two ancient governments. The Judaism and the Christianity gave the primary principles for the formation of the American government, while the rest of the principles mostly came from the governments of ancient Greece (mostly Athens) and Rome. The combination of several different principles led to the extraction and combination of the best things of all four, thus creating a very good and rightful government. One of the very important traits of the American government is the bicameral system, something originating from ancient times, just adjusted for modern times, and this is a system that doesn't allow one political party to gain to much power and abuse it, thus protecting the interest of the people.
