Slave, a person who is legal property of another person and is forced to do something such as help build a pyramid with all the Egyptians. Document A, B, and E all have many reasonings that slaves did build the pyramids. Slaves definitely built the pyramids considering about 8,000,000 Egyptians or even all the Egyptians built the pyramids; in other words they were lash-driven men which a lash-driven man is mostly a slave. Some people would say that some workers were found in tombs and no one would ever honer a slave that nicely. Nevertheless whoever buried the people can't bury 8,000,000 people in one tomb.

A system in which the elite of that society relied primarily on slave labour to extract a surplus, and in which slave ownership had spread beyond a narrow elite, can be identified a s a legitimate slave society. That is; a kind of society that is decisively dependent on the institution of slavery, in that in the absence of slavery, the society would be markedly different. Mid-Republican Rome meets these criteria, the role of slavery in economic life, and the size of the slave population, while less significant when compared to later periods; was immense.
Slavery in the U.S. Constitution After the Unites States declared Independence from Great Britain in 1776, they greatly feared a strong national government that would be like a monarchy like the one Great Britain had.

Slaves were considered property in Athens, with no legal rights or protections. They worked as domestic servants, labourers, skilled craftsmen, and even in the city's silver mines.

It will be questioning if he produces a straightforward view regarding his beliefs of natural slaves and the abilities they possess.
