Question

Jefferson states that "all men are created equal." What do you think he meant by that statement? How have various interpretations of this phrase caused conflict in American society?

Answer 1

Answer:

I think that with his statement, Jefferson meant that human beings are equal, and features like their race don't matter. This phrase causes conflict in American society because Jefferson said 'all men', and interpretations of that can mean that Jefferson was only referring to men, and not women.
