Question

From an encyclopedia, the Internet, or other reference, read the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence.

Copy each phrase that you think is part of the tradition of Western political thought (for example "all men are created equal").
In an essay of 300 words explain how each of these ideas is related to Biblical teaching.
Hint: Refer to the lesson "Theory, Practice, and Models" for a list of the Declaration's main thoughts that are a part of the tradition of Western Political thought (bottom of page 1). Type your findings using proper grammar, punctuation, and spelling.

Proper documentation includes both parenthetical citations within the body of your report anytime you summarize or quote a source, as well as a works cited page.

Answer 1

The preamble to the Constitution states it aims to bring Justice, Tranquility, Liberty, and general Welfare to every American Citizen. Likewise, the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence says life, liberty and the pursuit of Happiness are basic values of every person, so despotism or tyranny are not allowed in the U.S. Thus, the right answer is C. Both try to bring freedom and peace to American citizens.
