Quote: It was 245 years ago that our nation was founded. A handful of brave individuals breaking away from the rules of England sought to create a new life, in the “new world.” At the start, there were just the 13 colonies and a “Declaration of Independence.” Phase 3

This scholarly journal explains the history behind why all men were created equal during this time. To fill the diversity gap of gender it helps people understand why men were in power and had authority over the households. There were reasons behind this logic. Men and women were treated very differently, and this journal focuses on equality between both.

This book describes the old government and new government during the time of the Declaration of Independence.

This book expands on the list of abuses committed by George III detailed in the Declaration of Independence.

Phase 4

Paragraph 1: Eighteenth-ce=buy Americans knew the difference between a Declaration of Independence and a Bill of Rights, and in writing their state bills of rights they obviously preferred Mason's more detailed and, if you will, "lawyerly" statement to Jefferson's abridgement of it. One state Declaration of Rights after another said, for example, that all men were "born" equally free and independent, not that they were "created equal." And in describing man's "inalienable rights," they bypassed Jefferson's brief statement that "among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." Instead they adopted some version of Mason's assertion that among men's "inherent natural rights" were "the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety."

Fact Summary 1: All men were equal and showed their authority, while they were still diverse in their own opinions and thoughts.

Paragraph 2: "Having broken with an old government on the grounds that it had broken its natural covenant with its people, Americans were, not surprisingly, interested in obtaining written assurances that any new government set up for them would be legally obliged to respect individual rights and liberties. As constitutions for the thirteen newly independent American states were drafted, bills of rights enumerating specific rights were directly incorporated therein, even, as for Virginia, making up its first part.(4) So, American bills of rights may be seen, not only as reflections of the natural law philosophy of the eighteenth century, but as written responses to the specific offenses committed by George Ill that were cataloged in the Declaration of Independence."

Fact Summary 2: Both new and old governments had the same interests just different opinions on things that respected individuals along with all of the thirteen states.

Article -

Delaware cast no vote because the delegation was split between Thomas McKean, who voted yes, and George Read, who voted no. The remaining nine delegations voted in favor of independence, which meant that the resolution had been approved by the committee of the whole. All men were equal and showed their authority, while they were still diverse in their own opinions and thoughts.

Adams's preamble was meant to encourage the overthrow of the governments of Pennsylvania and Maryland, which were still under proprietary governance. Both new and old governments had the same interests just different opinions on things that respected individuals along with all of the thirteen states.
