In this essay‚ I will begin by demonstrating how the US Constitution not only did not fully provide the freedom of the slaves‚ but how the document itself is not as "liberating" as it seems.

The services such as medical or welfare will have even more skills and more range of services.

GENDER INEQUALITY‚kn I have chosen to make my presentation about inequalities between genders after having seen a video last week .
