Answer and Explanation:

The declaration of independence did not mean anything to slaves and ex-slaves as both could not take advantage of the inalienable rights that it established. Slaves were not freed through it and continued to be exploited by whites. Former slaves were not accepted into society and were viewed with great prejudice and racism, with their rights and freedoms denied.

Although it seems that this has changed today, we cannot fail to affirm that the black population of the country still does not have full access to the inalienable rights so defended in the constitution. This is because the American government has failed not only to establish a government that is, in fact, egalitarian, but it has also failed to combat racism rooted in society.

ivanzaharov [21]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

c. Black South Africans had no representation.

Even before after the Anglo-Boer War, relations among Black and White were exceptionally stressed. By the turn of the twentieth century, Mandela was not yet conceived, but rather the racial segregation which he battled against about for his entire life was at that point profoundly settled in South Africa.

The expert white arrangements of the British pioneer executive Alfred Milner pursued by the oppressive enactment sanctioned by the Union of South Africa induced extensive obstruction from Blacks and prompted the development and growth of new political bodies.
