Before the fifteenth century, European states enjoyed a long history of trade with
places in the Far East, such as India and China. This trade introduced luxury goods
such as cotton, silk, and spices to the European economy. New technological
advancements in maritime navigation and ship construction allowed Europeans to travel
farther and explore parts of the globe that were previously unknown. This, in turn,
provided Europeans with an opportunity to locate luxury goods, which were in high
demand, thereby eliminating Europe’s dependency on Eastern trade. In many ways,
the demand for goods such as sugar, cotton, and rum fueled the expansion of European
empires and their eventual use of slave labor from Africa
<em>The Declaration of Independence establishes the values of the United States of America. It says that "all men are created equal" and have the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Further, it states the purpose of government is to protect these values.</em>
Elaboration/Explanation:
One big source for Jefferson was John Locke. Locke’s Second Treatise of Government built upon mutual respect for property rights. All free men own property and therefore deserve some rights. The more property, the more rights. Locke like Jefferson believed that kings only earned respect for their rights when they respected the rights and privileges of their subjects.
Jefferson, of course, took this further. He, Franklin, and some other founding fathers essentially ran in radical English circles. Therefore some rights were so important that they do not accrue according to property ownership. Hence, all men were created equal in some respects; even though major property holders were more equal. All men deserved the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Of course, Jefferson understood that large landholders exercised the rights of gentry to guide their poorer neighbors.
It was a ruling for segregation laws that labeled colored people separate but equal.
