Which claims about the declaration of the rights of man and the declaration of independence are true? (select all that apply)

the declaration of independence speaks of a divine creator and the declaration of the rights of man speaks of a supreme being

only the declaration of man expressed the idea of the enlightenment

both documents drew on the "natural law" philosophy of john locke

only the declaration of independence mentions the right to liberty

The correct answers are: the declaration of independence speaks of a divine creator and the declaration of the rights of man speaks of a supreme being. Both documents drew on the "natural law" philosophy of John Locke.

Indeed, the Declaration of independence explicitly mentions the Creator in the preamble:

“"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.”

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen mentions the Supreme being in its preamble as well:

“In consequence whereof, the National Assembly recognises and declares, in the presence and under the auspices of the Supreme Being, the following Rights of Man and of the Citizen.”

Finally, although both documents draw on the natural law philosophy of John Locke, the American version is more traditional in that it considers that such rights are given to humans by a deity or transcendent being of the same kind while the French version is more secular.

the conditions that made the byzantine empire vulnerable to attacks by the muslin turks were the sack of constantinople by western crusaders, the conquests of the sultanate of rum, presence of rival kingdoms and finally the set up of fiefdoms at the empire which were owned by the ghazis (turkish warriors).

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.
