When Jefferson drafted the Declaration of Independence, he used a rhetorical writing style that was the standard during the 18th century. The goal was to build towards a climax. By stating life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as unalienable rights that should be enjoyed by all men he set the tone for the rest of the document. The succeeding list described how the British violated these rights in an order where the worst violations were placed last.

2. What were the beginnings<br> of agriculture in the Americas
rjkz [21]

Answer:

indigenous peoples in the Americas created a variety of agricultural systems that were suited to a wide range of environments, from southern Canada to southern South America and from high elevations in the Andes to the lowlands of the Amazon River. Agriculture arose independently in at least three regions: South America, M-e-s-o-america, and eastern North America. Although the Americas had several indigenous animal species that were domesticated, none were of an appropriate size or temperament for use as draft animals; as a result, the plow and other technology reliant on heavy traction were unknown.

Sweden production, also known as slash-and-burn agriculture, was practiced from temperate eastern North America to the tropical lowlands of South America. Field fertility in Sweden systems resulted from the burning of trees and shrubs in order to add nutrients to the soil. Such systems had high ecological diversity, thus providing a range of resources and prolonging the usefulness of what would otherwise have been short-lived fields and gardens. Settlements moved when productivity significantly declined and firewood was in low supply.

Why didn't the 1919 league of nations really work out?
Bogdan [553]

<em>The 1919 League of Nations was the first diplomatic organization which had as main goal to maintain peace, promote international cooperation and prevent another world war from happening</em>, it was created after Word War I and failed it's purpose and dissolved with World War II.

The League of Nations failed mostly because <em>of the absence of powerful nations such as United State</em>,<u> it was dominated by England and France which were imperialist nations that wanted to spread their empire</u> and some nations like <em>Germany and the Soviet Union were not allowed to join</em>.  Another cause of its failure was<em> its structure, it required unanimous votes for taking actions</em>, which made very difficult to achieve goals and<em> when countries attacked each other the League of Nations couldn't do anything about it because it lacked it's own army</em>.<em> The League of Nations had to uphold the Treaty of Versailles</em> which placed Germany as the country who lost the World War I, which made the League of Nations seem not neutral, and Germans didn't respect it.

The League of Nations was dissolved and replaced with the United Nations after World War II.
