Question

do you think that the words all men are created equal were intended to apply to all those who lived in the colonies? which groups were most likely not included?

Answer 1

These statements illustrated the idea of natural rights, a philosophical concept borrowed from the Enlightenment.Declaring the equality of all men did not prevent the United States from continuing the widespread practice of slavery. Slaves, Women, and poor people would be the only ones I could think of that would not be included
