Doi Vs Dos

American culture has long been dominated by the ideas of freedom and liberty. America has a long history of trying to make those ideas truthful. The historical documents Declaration of Independence and Declaration of Sentiments have similarities but differences also they are representations of the struggles our country has had to make everything and everyone fair.

The big things that are the same in these documents are well due to Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s document The Declaration of Sentiments is the same writing style as The Declaration of Independence. They both even have an almost identical pattern like Thomas Jefferson writes, ‘’We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.’’ And Elizabeth Cady Stanton edits this same sentence to say that all men and women are created equal. Also, another similarity that comes to mind would be that in both documents someone has the purpose to achieve inalienable rights – Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

These documents can be similar but can be different in both documents there is a different ‘’someone’’ wanting to pursue the inalienable rights for different causes. Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence for political causes. Switching between the two historical documents shows the ideas of freedom and liberty change. For starters, the Declaration of Independence was written during a time when freedom meant political justice. On the other hand, The Declaration of Sentiments was written during a time when freedom meant equality among genders.

To conclude, it is safe to say that these historical documents both have similarities but they are leaded by different kinds of ambition. Nevertheless, you should not forget that these documents are written under different historical backgrounds and suffrages under different authorities.
