The facts that Jefferson present in this sense are appeals to human reason. Jefferson wants to show that it is a natural fact that humans should be free from tyrannical governments.

In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson used his list of "facts to be submitted to a candid world" to demonstrate that the British king had been seeking to establish "<span>an absolute Tyranny over these States" (the colonial states which were declaring their independence).  Revolution was justified if it could be shown that the British government was acting in tyrannical ways toward the colonies.

Jefferson's list included items such as:
... The king refused to assent to laws that were wholesome and necessary for the public good.
... The king had forbidden colonial governors to enact laws or implement laws without his assent (which, as the prior point noted, he was in no hurry to give).
... The king forced people to give up their rights to legislative assembly or forced legislative bodies to meet in difficult places that imposed hardships on them.
... The king dissolved legislative assemblies and then refused for a long time to have other assemblies elected.
... The king obstructed justice in the colonies and made judges dependent on his will alone for their salaries and their tenure in office.
... The king kept standing armies in place in the colonies in peacetime, without the consent of the colonial legislatures.
... The king imposed taxes without the colonists' consent.

There were more items listed by Jefferson, but you get the idea.  He was justifying revolution by proving tyranny was standard operating procedure by the British monarchy.</span>

While Rebekah's character was admirable in many ways, one event shows that she was indeed a sinful human being--her favoritism o
goldfiish [28.3K]

Isaac, the son of Abraham, took Rebekah as his wife when he was 40 years old (Gen. 25:20). After 20 years, Rebecca was pregnant for the first time (Gen 25:26). In her womb were two twins who fought each other, which prompted Rebecca to consult with God, who told her that from their children would come two peoples of which one would be servant of the other (Gen. 25:23).

Esau was born first, being therefore the firstborn and then Jacob was born (Gen 25: 25-28). Isaac had a preference for Esau because of his hunting skills and Rebecca had a preference for Jacob.

This preference for Jacob is what led Rebecca to commit sin. When Isaac was old, he decided to give his blessing to his son Esau because he was his firstborn son, not knowing that Esau had despised his birthright and had sold it to Jacob for a plate of lentils and a little bread (Gen. 25: 29- 3. 4).

When Rebekah heard Isaac telling Esau to go out to hunt and make a stew for him because he was going to give her his blessing, she went ahead and ordered Jacob to dress up with his brother to deceive Isaac and receive Jacob. blessing (Gen 27: 11-13).

Jacob went to the cattle and brought two kids. His mother Rebeca cooked and made a stew with the kids, took his leather and fur to put it in the hands of Jacob, who was hairless, to make him look hairy like his brother and also dressed Jacob with the clothes of Esau (Gen 27: 15-17).

Jacob appeared before his father Isaac pretending to be Esau and could deceive him. Isaac gave Jacob a great blessing by telling him among other things that his offspring would rule by his brother (Gen 27: 18-29).

When Esau returned from hunting, he learned what had happened and also asked for his blessing. Isaac gave him the best blessing he could without undoing the blessing he had already extended to Jacob (Gen 27:40).

Esau decided to take revenge against Jacob by killing him. Rebecca heard Esau's plan and ordered Jacob to go into exile in the house of his brother Laban. Jacob gave an additional blessing to Jacob and sent him to his uncle's house, ordering him to take a wife from among his daughters (Gen 27: 41-46).

Finally Esau could not kill Jacob, the blessing was fulfilled for both of them in the future, and Rebecca suffered the consequence of not being able to see her favorite son anymore (Gen. 28: 1-5, 33:15).

ki77a [65]

The answer is - occupied with exploration.

While the Spanish still had problems with the Muslims and were giving their best to expel them, the Portuguese did not have problems of this type, so they were free to develop their economy and perform explorations. Because of the explorations Portugal made, they were able to find out new routes to the east, this meant free trade by their own terms, which led to increasing of the wealth of the country, and thus making it one of the most powerful countries in the world.
