Question

Which do you think comes closer to Enlightenment beliefs about natural rights - the

words in the declaration or the actions of the government?

Answer 1

declaration

Step-by-step explanation:

the declaration was made without a party system. during that time Christianity was not the only religion in pre-America in fact some were formed here. the declaration word by word specifies the actions the government needs to make for citizens. the declaration is basically a base foundation that the government is built off of and because of it the government is unable to act freely.

Answer 2

Hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

The words in the declaration come closer, because once the Americans were in government, all white people were free, but they still had slaves, which counteracted the line saying that all men are created equal. So, when looking at the past, the words written are closer to enlightenment beliefs than the actions of the new government.
