Doi Vs DosOwen Miller/P.3/Eng 3American culture has long been dominated by the ideas of freedom and liberty. America has a long history of trying to make those ideas truthful. The historical documents Declaration of Independence and Declaration of Sentiments have similarities but differences also they are representations of the struggles our country has had to make everything and everyone fair.The big things that are the same in these documents are well due to Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s document The Declaration of Sentiments is the same writing style as The Declaration of Independence. They both even have an almost identical pattern like Thomas Jefferson writes, ‘’We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.’’ And Elizabeth Cady Stanton edits this same sentence to say that all men and women are created equal. Also, another similarity that comes to mind would be that in both documents someone has the purpose to achieve inalienable rights – Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.
These documents can be similar but can be different in both documents there is a different ‘’someone’’ wanting to pursue the inalienable rights for different causes. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence for political causes. Switching between the two historical documents shows the ideas of freedom and liberty change. For starters, the Declaration of Independence was written during a time when freedom meant political justice. On the other hand, The Declaration of Sentiments was written during a time when freedom meant equality among genders.To conclude, it is safe to say that these historical documents both have similarities but they are leaded by different kinds of ambition. Nevertheless, you should not forget that these documents are written under different historical backgrounds and suffrages under different authorities.
A Reply to “William Wilkins” by Michael S. Bickley
The most important difference I see between these writings is to note that they claim to seek a “political rights” and freedom from the authority of the government without any legal authority. They do that because the State is on their side, because it holds our political rights, for our rights are not absolute or absolute without the authority or use it should be. They also claim that the government can make or break their political rights without regard to a particular historical context. While the freedom to carry out government actions may also make the state less tyrannical, that may be because it is made for a particular group. On the other hand, the freedom to carry the political power for government or any other individual is limited as they are not bound by a specific legal or political authority. The freedom of the individual is based on the individual’s own will. One can never be ruled in one’s own will, and one can never be a free slave or toil of labor. If we are free of the individual’s will to do whatever one can in the interests of the individual’s freedom from political control, then you have nothing to lose. The people as it is today claim that the government is not allowed authority, and the government isn’t entitled to make decisions as it may make them. There is much that needs to be done to restore the liberty to our individual liberty, and if done the government won’t hold us responsible for our own decisions. In addition, as many as 1876 Declaration of Independence were written under different historical backgrounds and suffragettes. They claimed to seek a “political rights” which could not be applied to their own political groups. This is a clear conflict in history between people trying to maintain the Constitution, but for the very same reason — to defend the State’s authority over the individual, and as a result give up their right to be free agents of change, which is the same as their own right to exercise the powers that is supposed to be exercised by the State. Furthermore, many leaders of the Free State claimed to fight for their own freedom, but their goal is so different from the state’s which the State has given them. In the end, they fought for the individual liberty of the people, and never wanted to put any strain on that. We disagree with them. We will do what we must to keep the free system secure as long as we believe it is the right thing to do. It will take nothing for us or our government to try to impose restraints on our rights or to dictate its position so that it is not true that it is not true. Our rights and freedoms are the same as theirs. These are our right to exercise all our basic and life-force freedoms, from bodily freedom and bodily health to political freedom to property and other liberties.
Thomas Jefferson: “Our lives, lives, and rights.” A Letter to The People by Michael S. Bickley. (June 4, 1776) “There is nothing so fundamental to liberty as the right to bear arms. It was necessary to our common fortune to keep the governments from interfering with a right to bear arms, because the Government was only interested in controlling and enforcing a good order and harmony among the people.” -Thomas Jefferson (1829-1864)
Why is it that we think that there is no such thing as “absolute” power and “absolute” freedom?
