The Enlightenment thinker that believed that it is a government's job to <em>protect the natural rights</em> of life, liberty, and property

  • <u>C. John Locke</u>

John Locke was a philosopher and enlightenment thinker who was of the opinion that it was the job of the federal government to <u>protect the natural rights of its citizens</u> just as rights to life, liberty and property.

He believed that everyone was equal before the law, regardless of their social status, or any other factors and they have individual rights which the <u>government cannot take away</u> from them.

He also <u>formed the theory</u> of a social contract where the people would<em> allow the government</em> to take away some of their rights in order to offer them protection <em>under special circumstances.</em>

Therefore, the correct answer is option C

The New England colonies would trade for a living.

<span> Most of the trading was done by New Englanders because the farming was bad there and so that was a good way to earn a living. Some of the objects that were trading are fish, whale products, ships, timber products, furs, maple syrup, copper, livestock products, and rum.  The people that traded were called merchants and they would deliver the objects to other parts of the 13 colonies and some of them would deliver to England and China too. </span>

Cuban Missile Crisis <br> How close was the convoy to the blockade on that fateful day?
Andrej [43]

The Cuban Missile Crisis was a confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union during October 1962. The crisis began when the US government deployed missiles in Italy and Turkey. As a response, the Soviet Union deployed missiles in Cuba.

After confirming the installation of missiles in Cuba by the Soviet Union, the United States executed a naval blockade that would prevent further deployment of missiles to the island. Negotiations were put into place in order to assure that the missiles deployed in Cuba would be dismantled. However, after confirmation by the US that there was still activity around the missiles, negotiations came to a stalemate on October 26, 1962. At this point, President Kennedy ordered a strike on the Soviet Union, as well as the invasion of Cuba. However, the Soviet Union responded by turning back 14 ships which were presumably transporting weapons to the island.
