Read the passage below. Then, write a short paragraph that compares the words of
the declaration with how natural rights were or were not protected in the early United
States.
The Declaration of Independence states, "We hold these truths to be self-
evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the
pursuit of Happiness." After American colonists won their independence,
however, they set up a government that allowed people to own others as
slaves.

Respuesta :

Declaring independence in 1776, The American Colonists were free of the chains of the British including the taxation without representation and overruling, However, they continued to use slavery in a system where the saying “ all men were created equal” was not fulfilled and this was justified by the same “creator” that granted all men be created equal. Therefore slavery is an example of an hypocrisy within the concept of what was claimed in the declaration of independence.
