Bas_tet [7]3 years ago

My party’s in power in the city, and it’s goin’ to undertake a lot of public improvements. Well, I’m tipped off, say, that they’re going to lay out a new park at a certain place. I see my opportunity and I take it. I go to that place and I buy up all the land I can in the neighborhood. Then the board of this or that makes its plan public, and there is a rush to get my land, which nobody cared particularly for before. Ain’t it perfectly honest to charge a good price and make a profit on my investment and foresight? Of course, it is. Well, that’s honest graft.

—George Washington Plunkitt, Plunkitt of Tammany Hall, 1905

In at least 150 words, compare Thomas Jefferson's views on religion as put forth in the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom t
maxonik [38]

Answer:

Both in religion and in politics, Thomas Jefferson believed that all men are created equal. Therefore, each man and woman have the right to choose their beliefs and have their own opinions.

In January 1777, Thomas Jefferson drafted the Bill for Establishing Religious Freedom which established the right of every man and woman to their own religious beliefs and opinions. Nine years later, this bill became the Virginia Statue  for Religious Freedom.  This statute was eventually incorporated into the Constitution as the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights.

As regards the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson wrote a statement of the colonists' right to rebel against the British government and establish their own based on the premise that all men are cretaed equal. In consequence, they have the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. His ultimate goal was to express the unity of Americans against the tyranny of Britain.
