Hello,  rahulbansal. I agree to 50.00. This is my first time using course hero. What do I need to do?

Also, these are discussion question for an online class. Each question should be detailed.

Jefferson wrote, “[We believe] 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.”

Consider the following questions as you respond:

1. What drove Jefferson and the Second Continental Congress to pen such a statement?

2. How did this break from past interpretations of government and its role?

3. How did under-represented groups, such as American Indians, slaves, and women interpret these words?

4. In what ways did their interpretation of “all men” differ from how it is interpreted today?
