All men are created equal

In To Kill A Mockingbird Atticus Finch uses all three rhetorical devices to power his closing argument. These three devices are known as Logos, Ethos, and Pathos. Logos is an appeal to logic. Logical things are facts that are not arguable. Ethos works with credibility. Quoting a famous person can catch people's attention and falls in the ethos category. Lastly there is Pathos. Pathos is an appeal to the emotions. People using this can make you feel sad or happy depending on what they say, do,…

The “Declaration of Independence,” was written in order to create equality among Americans. Opening with the famous statement; “we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and pursuit of Happiness.” The meaning of having rights is not meant as having power, wishes or desires, but to be “acknowledged and affirmed liberties inherent in human nature.” It clear that…

Revolution was the most effective in achieving its goals and it was one of the most impactful revolutions. The Americans revolted because of taxation without representation. This includes the stamp act where the Americans had to pay taxes to the British on all foreign goods. They also wanted someone to represent them in parliament so the British don't continue to tax them. Another main reason is that we wanted self government. This was important, because we feared that England was attempting to…

There are many great men and women in history. But the one that I admire the most is Thomas Jefferson. The main reason I admire Jefferson is he was a major influence on this budding nation, the United States. Jefferson wrote the "Declaration of Independance" and helped in the writing of the "Constitution". He was an idealist that knew reality. This is brought out in the issue of slavery. Slavery to Jefferson was wrong, but he did have slaves. The idea of abolishing slavery appealed to him. At…

The Equal Rights Amendment The Equal Rights Amendment or the ERA, is a Constitutional Amendment written by Alice Paul stating, “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” The amendment was introduced to congress in 1923 however the first interest in the idea of equality started in 1848 at the first Women’s Rights convention in Seneca Falls, NY. I support the Equal Rights Amendment. Although numerous women did not…

“Mr. S is supporting women’s suffrage because we the people of the United States should all be considered equal, that is why we have freedom from different countries.” “We should not discriminate and not let people vote in our free country.” “It should not matter being a white male or not all should have the same rights and all are considered to be equal.” “Voting is an American right in our country no person no matter what color their race should not be able to vote that is our right in this…

such as all people are created equal and people had reason. These ideas are the foundation for two documents with many similarities and differences. The two documents are the Declaration of Independence, which the colonists in North America wrote to the king of England, and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, which the French people wrote to the French king. The Declaration of Independence has four main points. The first of which is all men are created equal. Next, all men…

story which takes place in the year 2081 in a "perfectly equal world." This story was made as a way to interpret the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. The ideas that were interpreted from the bill of rights and the declaration in this story were put in a way that often messes with our other rights or does not look at every aspect of the right affected. The story's main idea is the sense that everybody is finally "equal," so much so that anybody who is better than…

wanted our nation to achieve with our new found freedom. First of all, the Preamble provides a clear understanding of what the Constitution was created to accomplish. A quote that I found particularly captivating is, “We the people” ( Morris, Par. 1). This quote, though short, means the rights given by the Constitution are for the people, created by the…
