Ramses mortuary temple is carved into the stone and is on one level contrary to Hatshepsut?s temple. There are four enormous carvings of an idealized Ramses, common to the time of the Old Kingdom pharaohs. These statues, made large enough to make the viewer feel humble in comparison, portray the power and significance of Ramses. A carving of Ra, situated above the entrance to the temple, depicts Ramses as god-like. The inside entrance is lined with smaller statues of Ramses wife, Nefertari, and other members of his family. The architect also added in another feature to the temple to put even greater significance on Ramses power.

United States Declaration of Independence

By the late eighteenth century, Americans enjoyed more liberties than most people in the world, and they paid lower taxes than the subjects of any other European state. Even as they declared their allegiance to the British monarch, they tarred and feathered his royal officials; though they professed loyalty to the rule of English law, they boycotted imports, defied taxes, and burned ships that docked in their ports.83 They came together from very disparate regions and societies because they found common ground in their grievances, their concerns about tyranny, and their notions of self-determination. They were defiant protestors but reluctant revolutionaries; in the beginning, the Americans sought reconciliation with their sovereign along with recognition of their rights.
