15. In your own words, what is one argument Calhoun gives for why he thinks slavery is a good thing?

Explanation:

He took the positive-good argument to its final extreme conclusion. Fitzhugh argued that Southern slaves had a "guarantee of livelihood, protection and support," and that if a master failed to perform his social welfare duties, he could be forced to sell his slaves to a more capable slaveholder.

answer; ///the declaration of independence;

it is a part of john locke's natural rights popular during the age of enlightenment that people had inalienable rights to life, liberty and property. this was reflected by thomas jefferson in his declaration of independence as rights to life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

another line in the declaration of independence is that people have certain rights just because they are human. humans are capable of obeying the three natural rights john locke mentioned making them governable by these laws and therefore entitled to these rights as well.
