Hey there!
The answer is A. That slavery was still allowed in a free nation.
One of the things the colonists fought for was freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of the press along with other things.
However, for hundreds of thousands of slaves torn away from their homes, they had none of these freedoms. They were considered inferior and not people.
A paradox is a statement that seems absurd of self-contradictory, which this statement very much is. If the U.S. is a free nation, then why do hundreds of thousands of people living there have no freedoms, stolen from them by the very people who advocated for their own freedom?
Hope this helps!
The king, who is of highest power on earth, was look at as a god. I hope this helps some what
<span>Combining nobles and knights must have created the lords. It couldn't have created the royals because knights weren't always of royal blood. It certainly couldn't have created the peasants as they already existed at a much lower status than either Knights or nobles who would not have moved down in status through combining. I don't think it is vassals because vassals were landholders who owed allegiance but again not all knights owned land so that rules them out. That leaves the group called "lords". Lords are still in existence today and people are still "nobles" and are still knighted by royalty. So that makes "Lords" the most correct answer.</span>
