To check your answers:
1. What was not a purpose of the Declaration of Independence?
The Declaration of Independence was a document drafted to declare the American colonies' independence from British rule. The listed purposes in the answer options are:
A. List grievances against the king - This is one of the main purposes of the Declaration of Independence, as it lists specific grievances against King George III.
B. Establish Bill of Rights - This is not a purpose of the Declaration of Independence. The Bill of Rights was established later, as part of the United States Constitution.
C. Embrace Enlightenment ideas of rights - This is another purpose of the Declaration of Independence, as it draws inspiration from Enlightenment thinkers who believed in natural rights.
D. Denounce the king as a tyrant - This is also a purpose of the Declaration of Independence, as it accuses King George III of tyrannical actions.
So, based on this, your answer is correct. B. Establish Bill of Rights is not a purpose of the Declaration of Independence.
2. Northwest Ordinance established all EXCEPT:
The Northwest Ordinance was passed by the U.S. Congress in 1787 and laid out the process for admitting new states to the Union. The listed options are:
A. Rules for territories to become states - This is one of the main purposes of the Northwest Ordinance, as it established a process for territories to attain statehood.
B. Denying slavery to new states formed - This is also true. The Northwest Ordinance prohibited slavery in the territories and provided a blueprint for future states to be free and not allow slavery.
C. The right to education - The Northwest Ordinance did not specifically mention the right to education, so this could be a possible answer.
D. Preventing new states from entering the US - This is incorrect. The Northwest Ordinance did not prevent new states from entering the US; instead, it provided a framework for their admission.
Considering this, your answer could be correct. C. The right to education may not be explicitly addressed in the Northwest Ordinance.
