by laws of nature because someone needs to keep those

00:09

cheetahs in check I will check out this excerpt from

00:13

the declaration of independence when in the course of human

00:18

events we hold these truths to be self evident Now

00:23

cool it maybe All right this excerpt is describing what

00:28

kind of rights Well so we've got to drop down

00:33

here with the options civil divine human and natural We'll

00:37

take a closer look at this excerpt and see if

00:39

we can figure out what the heck is trying to

00:41

say Well a few phrases jump out at us powers

00:45

of earth laws of nature and of nature's god all

00:50

men are created equal Well somehow i can't picture a

00:53

piece of legislation coming out of today's congress with that

00:56

kind of wording But what does it all mean All

00:59

right well are they describing civil rights wealth Martin luther

01:02

king had been one of the founding fathers they might

back in the middle ages because they supposedly got their

01:28

power straight from the big guy Well not what's being

01:31

described here so that one's out human rights again Women

01:35

children minorities volleyball players all humans Last we checked and

01:41

they were far from being on equal footing with white

01:43

protestant men Right Mouths are Answer has to be natural

01:47

rights right which has a major philosophy during the enlightenment

01:51
