B sounds like the right answer
Instead of it meaning all of mankind is equal, it truly boiled down to: All white, rich, males in a position of power, are equal.
I think it's a no brainer why some resisted unfair treatment. If you, your family, and everyone else like you were being disrespected, and stripped of their rights, wouldn't you want to freaking do something? So slaves, women, etc rose up, and tried to resist.
Slavery has no place in "All men are created equal"
Deliberatly placing a divide between social classes is not "All men are created equal"
Refusing women the right to vote is not "All men are created equal"
Robbing people of their land is not "All men are created equal"
The mayan kings and many rulers of eurasian empires both legitimized their authority through their religious practices and excuse of divine right.The divine right of kingship, is a religious doctrine of royal and political legitimacy where it asserts that a royal is deriving his right to rule directly from the will of God and not to earthly authority.
In short, Libertarians believe the government should never violate an individuals rights (socially liberal), and should be extremely limited its power, especially in regards to the economy (economically conservative).
Carried forward, Libertarians generallysupport gay rights, a woman's right to choose ("pro-choice"), and an individuals privacy (opposed to the Patriot Act, and to a degree also opposed to the CIA). Anything that expands the individuals' rights, Libertarians support.
Economically, Libertarians generally believe that Capitalism should be unregulated. There are some blatant problems with monopoly and scams (i.e. Ponzi schemes), and a certain number of Libertarians believe there ought to be some regulation.
In a similar vein, Libertarians generally are opposed to the power of the monopoly called government. As a political philosophy, Libertarians believe the government should exist only to protect the liberties of its citizens. A strong military is acceptable, but Libertarians favor the philosophy of the founding fathers - nonintervention.
These "policies" are only as I understand them, and should not be taken as representative of all Libertarians.
