In Act 2, scene 2, Isabella and Lucio came to plead Angelo. Toward the end of Act 2, scene 2, Angelo makes a long monologue to express his internal struggle. What is Angelo's struggle here?

Angelo's internal struggle is whether to pardon Claudio like Isabella had begges, or to keep his decision and punish him for his 'crime' of impregnating his lover Ju liet before their marriage.

Explanation:

In William Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure", the 'temporary' ruler of Vienna, Angelo had convicted Claudio of sexual immorality and had sentenced him to be put to death. This particular scene in Act II scene ii is when Claudio's sister Isabella had come to plead with the deputy to the Duke for mercy and pardon her brother's crime.

The monologue at the end of Act II scene ii shows Angelo conflicted between  pardoning Claudio and his need to assert his power. He became attracted to Isabella and is conflicted between impressing her and his need to show the people of Vienna his own power/ authority. This internal struggle within Angelo reveals his own past misdeeds but the need to be 'good' in public. He exclaims that "most dangerous  Is that temptation that doth goad us on  To sin in loving virtue". And just as Isabella's words claim "authority, though it err like others,  Hath yet a kind of medicine in itself,  That skins the vice o’ the top." He knows that she speaks the truth and yet, he wants to show his authority over the people, thus deciding to punish Claudio.

answer: there were new carvings etched into the back of the sculpture and each shoulder was turned into a symbol of the birdman.

it is a part of john locke's natural rights popular during the age of enlightenment that people had inalienable rights to life, liberty and property. this was reflected by thomas jefferson in his declaration of independence as rights to life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

another line in the declaration of independence is that people have certain rights just because they are human. humans are capable of obeying the three natural rights john locke mentioned making them governable by these laws and therefore entitled to these rights as well.
