read the passage from  sugar changed the world.in france, there was no parliament or congress; no one expected to be able to protect his rights by voting. but even in the land of king louis xvi and queen marie antoinette, the people demanded to be heard. in july 1789, parisians stormed the bastille, the hated prison where the king locked up anyone he disliked. and in august, the newly defined national assembly issued the declaration of the rights of man and the citizen. "men are born and remain free and equal in rights,ā€ it announced to the world. here it was again, pierre lemerreā€™s phrase, jeffersonā€™s phrase, the principle clarkson was fighting forā€”indeed, he came to france to support the new government. and yet the declaration also said that "property is an inviolable and sacred right.ā€ so what were slaves? equal human beings, or goods that belonged to their owners? human rights versus property rights. that argument goes on today as, for example, we debate how closely to regulate coal mining. is it best to let owners set rules, which is likely to give all of us cheaper coal, or to have the government set standards, which is more likely to protect workers and the environment? in france, one side argued that slaves must be freed. the other said that to change anything in the sugar islands would invite slave revolts, france's rivals, and thus hurt the nation.which historical events do the authors include to support the claim in this passage? select  two  options.details of marie antoinetteā€™s actions at the bastillespecific details about the modern sugar industrya quotation from the declaration of rights of man and the citizena summary of political changes related to human rights in france  a description of revolts in the sugar islands

Each state in america has a different seal, or symbol, that represents the traditional culture of that state. the state seal of georgia is rich in meaning, history, and patriotism. when was the seal adopted? 2georgiaā€™s state constitution established the state seal in 1798. however, as georgiaā€™s political circumstances changed, so too did the stateā€™s seal. between 1863 and 1865, georgia used a different state seal to represent its separation from the rest of the country during the civil war. then, from 1868 to1871, georgiaā€™s secretary of state nathan c. barnett hid the original seal when the capital was occupied by the northā€™s victorious enemy forces. he readopted the original seal in 1872. 4georgiaā€™s state seal remained unchanged for 42 years. then, a law was passed that required the state to alter the date on the seal. the year 1799 had originally appeared on the seal to represent the year that the seal was officially adopted. the new law changed the date on the seal to 1776, the year that americaā€™s founding fathers signed the declaration of independence. what does the seal look like? 5just as coins each have a ā€œheadsā€ side and a ā€œtailsā€ side, state seals also each have a front and a back. the front of the seal shows three tall columns, or pillars. perched atop these pillars is an arch that displays the word ā€œconstitution.ā€ the two end pillars are each adorned with a ribbon-like banner that reads ā€œwisdomā€ and ā€œmoderation.ā€ a third banner, reading ā€œjustice,ā€ hangs in front of the middle pillar. when read together, the banners make up the official state motto of georgia: ā€œwisdom, justice, and moderation.ā€ the seal also exhibits a picture of a soldier holding a sword. the words ā€œstate of georgiaā€ appear along the top. the year 1776 is printed at the bottom. 6the back of the seal portrays a rural shoreline scene featuring a large ship and small boat. also included in the picture are bundles of tobacco plants and cotton and a farmer working in a field. across the top of the seal are the words ā€œagriculture and commerce.ā€ the bottom of the seal is also marked with the year 1776. what do the symbols on the seal represent? 7each item on the seal is symbolic of georgiaā€™s history and the history of america as a united country. the pillars on the front stand for the three branches of governmentā€”legislative, executive, and judicialā€”and how they all work together to support the country and its constitution. the man holding the sword represents soldiers who defend the country and its laws. 8the boats on the back of the seal symbolize the agricultural commerce of georgia. similarly, the farmer and crop bundles represent georgiaā€™s dependence on agriculture for survival. during the mid to late 1800s, over 700,000 cotton bales were produced each year. cotton is still a ā€œkingā€ crop in georgia. the state currently produces almost three million bales per year. this is only one reason why the state is an important asset to its country. read the passage on the left to answer the following questions: 13) the author's main purpose in writing this article is a) to inform. b) to create. c) to persuade. d) to entertain. 14) in paragraph eight, the word asset means a) benefit. b) debt. c) element. d) expense. 15) in paragraph six, the word portrays means a) condescends. b) deceives. c) honors. d) reveals.
