Which statement BEST describes the ideas about government in the Declaration of Independence? (A) The government of the United S
tates would be based on freedom, equality, and protecting the people's rights. (B) Only white male landowners would have rights (C)The United States would be a monarchy, like Great Britain. (D )Government powers would be placed in the hands of a small group of wealthy British men. Please help me on this question.
It definitely is not C or D. On the surface it would be A, emphasized in contrast to their experiences at the hands of the British, and that is the option I would choose. In reality at the beginning B is what people experienced.
