In stanza 2, hughes describes monarchies as crushing tyrants over the common man. which american belief do these lines from hughes's poem support?

It supports the belief that all men are created equal.

Explanation:

Monarchies rule as a right of birth over their subjects. The common man refers to their subjects or people belonging to that kingdom. The belief that all men are created equal was a foundation of the Declaration of Independence, written in 1776. It is the belief that all American citizens were born equal and deserved the same opportunities as the other. No person born into a monarchy had a natural superiority to any person. This was written at the beginning of the War of independence against the British monarchy.

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human

a is the indefinite article
