9. Which is an example of what Thomas Jefferson meant by the phrase “all men are created equal”? (1 point)

A man is put on trial by a jury of his peers.
A test is administered to determine if a woman has enough intelligence to immigrate.
Wealth is divided up so that all persons have the same amount.
**All men are allowed to vote, regardless of education or whether they own property.

Hi! I really need help on this question, I think its D but I just want to make sure.

But in Jefferson's day, men had to own property. This site points out that only 6% of the population could vote when Washington was elected president.

Mckenzie was it D? I think the same but i m not sure:(

I took the quiz it is D

Hi there! You're absolutely correct, the correct answer is D. "All men are allowed to vote, regardless of education or whether they own property." This is an example of what Thomas Jefferson meant by the phrase "all men are created equal."

To understand why this is the correct answer, it helps to have some background knowledge. Thomas Jefferson was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States and the principal author of the Declaration of Independence, where the phrase "all men are created equal" was famously articulated.

In the context of the phrase, "all men" refers to all individuals, regardless of their social or economic background. It emphasizes the idea that everyone should be treated with equal respect and have the same basic rights and opportunities.

Choice A, "A man is put on trial by a jury of his peers," is also related to the concept of equality under the law, as it ensures that an accused individual is judged by a group of their fellow citizens. However, it does not explicitly address the equal right to vote.

Choices B and C do not align with Thomas Jefferson's idea of equality. Both options suggest different forms of discrimination based on factors such as gender (in choice B) or wealth redistribution (in choice C).

To summarize, Thomas Jefferson meant that equality should be demonstrated through the grant of fundamental rights and opportunities, such as voting rights, to every individual regardless of their education, property ownership, or other discriminatory factors.
