The correct answers are: the declaration of independence speaks of a divine creator and the declaration of the rights of man speaks of a supreme being. Both documents drew on the "natural law" philosophy of John Locke.
Indeed, the Declaration of independence explicitly mentions the Creator in the preamble:
“"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.”
The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen mentions the Supreme being in its preamble as well:
“In consequence whereof, the National Assembly recognises and declares, in the presence and under the auspices of the Supreme Being, the following Rights of Man and of the Citizen.”
Finally, although both documents draw on the natural law philosophy of John Locke, the American version is more traditional in that it considers that such rights are given to humans by a deity or transcendent being of the same kind while the French version is more secular.
Answer:
The Klondike Gold Rush, Dawes Act, and Homestead Act were contributing factors to the <u><em>westward expansion.</em></u>
Explanation:
Supported by Manifest Destiny, the westward expansion was not only an occupation of the land but a gradual process. Each part of this process had the contribution of the Klondike Gold Rush, the Dawes Act, and the Homestead Act.
Now let's see why and how:
- Klondike Gold Rush: beyond the fact to find gold in the North, the Klondike Gold Rush contribute to massive migration and the settlement in parts of Canada. Around 30,000 of the 100,000 or so prospectors that set out for the Klondike actually made it there.
- Dawes Act: despite it's not an expansion movement, the Dawes Act break up the Native American tribes and to see them as individuals. However, this act opened space to the settlement of non-natives.
- Homestead Act: this act officialized the westward expansion. The act, which took effect January 1, 1863, granted 160 acres (65 hectares) of unappropriated public lands to anyone who paid a small filing fee and agreed to work on the land and improve it, including by building a residence, over a five-year period.
