Would you have me argue that man is entitled to liberty? That he is the rightful owner of his own body? You have already declare

d it. Must I argue the wrongfulness of slavery? Is that a question for Republicans? Is it to be settled by the rules of logic and argumentation, as a matter beset with great difficulty, involving a doubtful application of the principle of justice, hard to be understood? How should I look to-day, in the presence of Americans, dividing, and subdividing a discourse, to show that men have a natural right to freedom? Speaking of it relatively, and positively, negatively, and affirmatively. To do so, would be to make myself ridiculous, and to offer an insult to your understanding. There is not a man beneath the canopy of heaven, that does not know that slavery is wrong for him.

Answer and Explanation:

The above is a quote and extract from the speech of Frederick Douglass(was a social advocate, abolitionist, and orator) in July 5, 1852 while addressing the Rochester ladies' anti-slavery society in New York. His speech was named What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?

In his speech he emphasizes the importance of July fourth as a commemoration of the liberty and independence of the black people from slavery, as he notes it, "the birthday of your national independence and political freedom". July fourth, 1776 was the day America got independence from England and is normally celebrated as such, but is also a day Black people celebrate their freedom from slavery.

In at least one hundred and fifty words, summarize the argument Jefferson puts forth in the Declaration of Independence and the
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The Declaration of Independence of the United States, written by Thomas Jefferson on July 4, 1776, was the document that proclaimed the separation of the Thirteen Colonies from Great Britain, declaring the independence of the United States as a sovereign nation.

In this proclamation, Jefferson summarizes the motivations for which the patriots sought independence from Great Britain, specifying the abuses of King George against the individual and economic rights of the settlers, such as the establishment of the Intolerable Acts and the Taxation after the French and Indian War. Later, he mentions that the will of the colonists was that of reconciliation, but that this was not admitted by the British Crown itself.

Thus, he continues to establish that the ideological motivation of the patriots was to establish a nation where the natural rights of men (following the philosophical position of John Locke) were respected, where each individual could enjoy without restriction the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
