Question

Read the paragraph from the Declaration of Independence.

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the Powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

Now, read the paragraph from the Declaration of Sentiments. When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one portion of the family of man to assume among the people of the earth a position different from that which they have hitherto occupied, but one to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes that impel them to such a course.

Answer 2

The correct answer is the option A: the similarities in the wording.

Step-by-step explanation:

To begin with, the United States Declaration of Independece is the name given to the pronouncement adopted by the Second Continental Congress in order to explain why the Thirteen Colonies at war with the Great Britain's Kingdom decided to established an unique independent state separeted from the control of England.

Secondly, the Declaration of Sentiments is a document signed by 32 man and 68 women in 1848 during the first women's rights convention that was organized by women and its principal author, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, modeled it upon the United States Declaration of Independence.

Finally, to most effectively compare the two passages, the reader should compare the similarities in the wording given the fact that the Declaration of Sentiments was established given the model of the Declaration of Independence and therefore the first one follows a particular order in words given in the second one.
