Answer:
b. By violating the social contract with the colonists, the king has lost his authority to rule.
Explanation:
The French philosopher John Locke is known for favoring a limited government that had to be accountable for the people it governs and having a great influence in may of Democratic governments that exist nowadays. In his Two Treatises of Government" (1689), Locke claimed that men were by nature free and equal, but with the purpose to interact in a healthy society, it was necessary that they transferred some of their rights to a government in a "Social Contract". Under that contract, the government had to be elected by the people and had to protect people's natural rights to life, liberty, and property. However, whenever the government failed to do so, people had the authority to abolish it and replace it.
These ideas highly influenced the Declaration of Independence. In this document, the Thirteen American Colonies unanimously declared independence from Britain for violating the social contract, as part of the document states:
<em>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that </em><em>all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.</em><em>--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That </em><em>whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government</em>
All power is held by King or queen.
Reform: During the French Revolution, the National Assembly was able to set some new standards or reforms, which they thought would better the whole situation. Amongst these reforms we have a balance of powers, a declaration which stated that all men were equal under the law; just because you were noble-born did not mean you had privileges; no emperors or dictators were able to rule; they would not return to the "Ancien Regime"; and finally, the monarchic rule would end.
Terror: After the death of Louis XVI in 1793, the Reign of Terror began. The first to be affected by this was Marie Antoinette who had been imprisoned with her children. The guillotine, the new instrument for democratic justice, was put to work. Public executions were thought of as educational. Women were encouraged to sit and knit during trials and executions. Across France 30,000 people were killed for very unnecessary things such as saying something critical of the revolutionary government. The leader during this time was Robespierre. He was the leader of Public Safety, the executive committee of the National Convention, and the most powerful man on France. But after some time, people believed that the Terror must be stopped. Even his supporters, the Jacobins believed that it was time to stop the Terror. Many conventions were held in order to stop the Terror. Danton was the one leading this, but later was threatened to death and prohibited from defending himself.
