Men Are Created Equal Declaration Of Independence
1,554 wordsThe Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson, and The Second Treatise on Civil Government by John Locke, are two similar works.

State Of Nature Order To Make
1,151 wordsAfter hearing your speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in 1963, I could taste the bitterness in my heart. It is evident that the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society (1). African-Americans are constantly victims of horrible police brutality.

How is it possible for a Negro to feel a part of this country if he or she cannot even vote for who is to govern them? No individ...
