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.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C

Think about what you know about the Espionage and Sedition Acts. Now apply that to some real-world situations. Check any action
leva [86]
The following statements would result in the application of the Espionage and Sedition Acts: 

1) A person says that the government made a mistake by getting involved in the war.

2) A speaker suggests that people should stop work to protest the war.

3) A labor union holds a strike at a munitions factory.

Both of these statements would result in punishments according to the Espionage and Sedition Acts (passed in 1918, during World War I). These acts made any speech that was considered critical of the government or disloyal to the US illegal. Along with this, anyone who interfered with the war effort could be punished. This is why the statements above would be real world situations of the Espionage and Sedition Acts.

Taking into account the original statement:

"Alexander Hamilton strongly supported a pro-Federalist interpretation of the Constitution. He supported greater federal powers at the expense of the states' powers. Which of these is a result of Hamilton's federalist beliefs?

a. establishing the first national bank of the United States as a way to manage money across state borders

b. establishing the Department of the Interior to manage government lands and set up national parks

c. the Supreme Court ruling that the rights of the states held more authority over federal law

d. the creation of the Department of the Treasury and the elevation of the Secretary of the Treasury to a Cabinet level position"

The answer is:

a. Establishing the first national bank of the United States as a way to manage money across state borders

With a National Bank, the federal government would be able to manage money across state borders by creating a standard form of currency (At the time, each state had its own) and establishing financial order to pay off the Revolutionary War's debts ( 1775-83) of the several states.

Hope this helps.
