Assignment:

Hello in my class week 2 moves us forward to the turbulent times of the Revolutionary War in America. The 18th century began as a time of strengthening ties between the Colonies and the British Empire; however, this relationship soon deteriorated. The French and Indian Wars, which initiated the Stamp Act and other taxation, began a period of opposition and violent protest against British control.

In 1776, after more than 10 years of struggle, American colonists were persuaded that separating from Great Britain was the only way forward. The preamble to the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson, has been hailed as an example of Enlightenment.

Note: I need help with the 3 questions below. Please list any resources accuractely and be a little detailed.

How are the principles of Enlightenment reflected in the Declaration of Independence?
Discuss the contrast between the equality and individual liberties promoted in the declaration and the reality of inequality in colonial America.
Why does the Declaration continue to be an inspiration for international human rights today?
