Discuss
the Enlightenment principles of equality upon which Thomas Jefferson
based the Declaration of Independence. Where did Jefferson get these
principles, and how were they different from the idea of absolute
monarchy that existed in Europe? To what extent did the various states
view and apply ideas of individual freedom as discussed in Chapter 6,
“The Revolution Within” in our textextbook?
Discuss the reasons some states granted relatively greater freedoms and
some less. What does the term “public sphere” mean? Compare how was it
used by Abigail Adams in her 1776 letter to John Adams (p.494) and by
“Petitions of Slaves to The Massachusetts Legislature (1773 and 1777)”
(p.494-5).
