Thomas Jefferson added the words "All men are created equal" in the Declaration of Independence.
Now Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin all revised and went over this document before submitting it to the
congressional committee, so with that in mind. My question is for you to ponder.
Was leaving the phrase "All men are created equal" an oversight? Was it intentional? or was it implied?
what ever you think it is, elaborate as to why you believe to be one of these three
I honestly am really surprised by your question. Obviously it was done intentionally based on the status of black and white lives at the time. But it does seem implied to some degree based on our status of races today. But I wouldn't exactly say it was an oversight. If I had to make an answer right off the top of my head I would say it would be in between Intentional and it being implied. But it would be closer to intentional in my opinion.
Intentional answer Implied

Which conclusion about the impact of environmental conditions on New France does the excerpt BEST support?
A.
Variable climate conditions discouraged French colonists from settling in the St. Lawrence River Valley.
B.
The forested landscape of the interior limited French ambitions and confined them to lands adjacent to the British.
C.
Rugged, wooded terrain hindered French efforts to build large agricultural communities like those in the British colonies.
D.
Early French settlers lacked the technology to clear and develop tracts of land sizable enough to support large populations.
Answer:
Rugged, wooded terrain hindered French efforts to build large agricultural communities like those in the British colonies.
Explanation:
"Much of the land on both the north and the south shores of the St. Lawrence was heavily timbered, and the work of clearing proved tedious"
French efforts to build an agricultural community in the New France area to contribute towards a cultivable land in one of its Colony like the British was largely limited due to the topographic features of the landmass. They were encouraged to clear wooden terrain, especially timber to make it a productive landmass. However, most of the efforts went in vain even after half a century of settlement due to the conditions and their desire to make New France one of the most productive agricultural community failed.

Are great artistic achievements less admirable if they are paid in dishonest ways, such as through the sale of these special pardons?
Answer:
Great artistic achievements are NOT less admirable, even when they are paid in dishonest ways.
Explanation:
To truly appreciate art, you must focus on the piece itself, what it represents, how it makes you feel, and you must interpret what the artist is trying to convey. Thus, you should not focus on the fact on how it was paid, or if the artist was dishonest or not, because even if the art has a dishonest past, it is still the same piece of art, and you should recognize the artistic skill that was put into the piece. You must not let outside factors affect how you see the art.
