Read the two passages from sugar changed the world. england had begun talking about ending slavery, but then it saw the chaos in france and sent an army to try to defeat the haitians. now napoleon's france followed in the footsteps of the english. napoleon's 35,000-man army was led by his brother-in-law and soon scored an amazing success: they captured toussaint in 1802 and brought him to france, where he died in prison in 1803. but the former slaves fought on. in two years of fighting, nearly 50,000 french soldiers died. and on january 1, 1804, the victorious republic of haiti was born. fighting for freedom, the former slaves defeated the armies of first england, then france: europe's two most powerful nations. haiti was born free; human rights won over property rights. in 1807 a bill to ban all english involvement in slave trading passed the house of commons, then the house of lords. at precisely noon on march 25, king george iii signed the law. we should mark that date, honor it, to this day. for while no slaves were freed by the bill, it marked a great change in the world. more slaves from africa had been shipped by the british than by any other nation. that part of the grim history of sugar and slavery was over. indeed, that very same year congress passed a law forbidding americans from being involved in importing slaves. in the great contest over whether a human, any human, could ever be property; the tide was turning. how do the authors develop the claim in the two passages? both passages the reader understand how the end of involuntary servitude in haiti led to the end of involuntary servitude in britain. both passages illustrate how property rights were more important to the british than to americans. both passages support the claim that human rights became more important than property rights in the early 1800s. both passages support the claim that the end of the slave trade eventually led to the end of the sugar industry.

Read the excerpt from shirley chisholm’s speech “equal rights for women.” as a black person, i am no stranger to race prejudice. but the truth is that in the political world i have been far oftener discriminated against because i am a woman than because i am black. prejudice against blacks is becoming unacceptable although it will take years to eliminate it. but it is doomed because, slowly, white america is beginning to admit that it exists. prejudice against women is still acceptable. there is very little understanding yet of the immorality involved in double pay scales and the classification of most of the better jobs as “for men only.” the fourteenth amendment states all persons born or naturalized in the united states, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the united states and of the state wherein they reside. no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the united states; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. how does chisholm incorporate the constitutional principle based on the fourteenth amendment in the excerpt? by comparing the unequal treatment shared by african americans and women by explaining how life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are not shared by all citizens by showing that the government has made no effort to enforce the rights of all people by conveying the idea that everyone must live by the words stated in the constitution
