source 8.4 provides evidence relating to which of the following? select all that apply
the creation of new laws or the direct appeal to government authorities to secure inalienable rights
the expansion of rights to specific subgroups within a wider society
the role of statements of rights, like the united states declaration of independence, in defining human rights
efforts to chart the rights of all full participants in society

Explanation:

For Question 19:

The 1793 engraving's title emphasizes virtue over birth as the measure of equality, and it centers a free Black man alongside French figures and personifications of liberty/equality. This aligns with advocating for free men of color to access the rights in the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, rather than extending rights to women/slaves or restricting it to white men.

For Question 20:

The source's focus on equality beyond birth and inclusion of a free Black man shows evidence of expanding rights to marginalized subgroups (free men of color) within French society. It also reflects efforts to outline rights for people who were previously excluded from full societal participation, framing equality as tied to virtue rather than race or birth status. The image does not focus on appealing to government for new laws or referencing US founding documents.

Answer:

Question 19:

That free men of color should be afforded the rights laid out in the Declaration

Question 20:

• The expansion of rights to specific subgroups within a wider society
• Efforts to chart the rights of all full participants in society
