Question

Which section of the people enjoyed the rights declared by the US Declaration of Independence?

• A. All Whites in the US
• B. White males in the US
• C. All adults in the US
• D. All male adults in the US

Answer 1

The correct option is B White males in the US

The US Declaration of Independence, the rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, were only applicable to white males and not to women or people of colour. The English Magna Carta also granted rights and protection only to barons or the upper class of the society.
