Question

how does the south carolina declaration of secession use the declaration of independence (1776) to justify secession?1 pointthe parties to whom this constitution was submitted, were the several sovereign states; they were to agree or disagree, and when nine of them agreed the compact was to take effect among those concurring; and the general government, as the common agent, was then invested with their authority.that they are, and of right ought to be, free and independent states; and that, as free and independent states, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent states may of right do.we hold that the government thus established is subject to the two great principles asserted in the declaration of independence; and we hold further, that the mode of its formation subjects it to a third fundamental principle, namely: the law of compact.the constitution of the united states, in its fourth article, provides as follows:
o person held to service or labor in one state, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in consequence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up, on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due.\

Explanation:

The South Carolina Declaration of Secession relied on the compact theory of the Union, rooted in the idea that states were sovereign entities that voluntarily joined the U.S. (a compact). It also invoked the Declaration of Independence's principle of states' right to self-determination as free and independent entities. The correct option explicitly ties the government to the Declaration of Independence's principles and the compact theory, which was the core legal/ideological justification for secession.

Answer:

O We hold that the Government thus established is subject to the two great principles asserted in the Declaration of Independence; and we hold further, that the mode of its formation subjects it to a third fundamental principle, namely: the law of compact.
