Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Abstract:

A government that does not guarantee freedom, equality, happiness and respect for the rights of all citizens must be overthrown by the people, who must raise another government that guarantees all these elements given by God to men.

Explanation:

A summary should include the main ideas of the original text, but in a shorter and faster narrative, using a few words, but always highlighting the main theme of the original text.

Based on this, the summary above was made from the paragraph of the declaration of independence shown in the question above, where it reinforces the government's obligation to guarantee the security, freedom, equality and happiness of its people, and may be removed from power if that responsibility is neglected.

What happened to most of people who went west to mine for gold?
Damm [24]

Answer:

Many of those who went west sold most if not all of their belongings in hopes to make it rich in the golden west. However, as they came to know, even through their hardships and perils, few that made it out there struck richness. Instead, as they toiled in the sunlight, they slowly ran out of money and supplies. Those who were fortunate enough headed back east, or set up shop with what other skills they had. This is how most mining towns grew. Those with skill stayed and sold items to those who made it rich or at least livable, and the towns slowly grew from other settlers arriving.

In essence, those who did not make it rich either went back home east, or else stayed and tried to make a living through some other means.
