SSO hjælp - Omkring frihed.

Du kan skabe sammenhæng ved at analysere taler, der refererer til "The Declaration of Independence". Det er der mange amerikanske taler, der gør.

Fx siger Martin Luther King i sin berømte tale "I have a Dream":

In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men - yes, black men as well as white men - would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Eller starten af Obamas "Inaugural Adress" fra januar 2013:

Each time we gather to inaugurate a President we bear witness to the enduring strength of our Constitution.  We affirm the promise of our democracy.  We recall that what binds this nation together is not the colors of our skin or the tenets of our faith or the origins of our names.  What makes us exceptional -- what makes us American -- is our allegiance to an idea articulated in a declaration made more than two centuries ago:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, 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

Tak:)! Angående punkt 1. burde jeg så, at fokusere på de historiske begivenheder der ledte frem til deklerationen?

Som jeg forstår opgaveformuleringen, skal du snarere redegøre for selve Uafhængighedserklæringen med fokus på, hvordan frihedstanken kommer til udtryk i den.
