The correct answer is C) Enlightenment

The Enlightenment period took place during the 18th century in Europe. This era saw a drastic change in the way that citizens viewed the purpose of government. This helped to spark the declaration of independence and social contract theory.

The Declaration of Independence contained Enlightenment ideas like the right of the governed. In the Declaration of Independence it discusses how any time a government becomes ineffective, the people have the right to replace it. This is an Enlightenment idea.

The social contract theory states that the power of the government comes from the citizens. This was also an Enlightenment concept.

How does religion, law, and civilization interact?
Savatey [412]

Answer:

Allowing religion to affect laws limits people’s freedoms. Religious influence should remain out of laws and out of politics in general. Religion is a belief held by certain people — not everyone — meaning that other people have absolutely no right to force their religious beliefs on others.
