The correct answer is number 2.- Representative government.

<em>An idea from Enlightenment that influenced the Declaration of Independence was the Representative government. </em>

The Representative government was one of the many ideas that influenced the people who wrote the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson and others believed in the idea that the government should protect the citizens and respect and guarantee their natural rights. Brilliant thinkers of the Enlightenment such as Voltaire, John Lock, and Thomas Hobbes, wrote many ideas that infuenced directly and appear in the Declaration of Independence of the United States.

An idea from the Enlightenment that influenced the Declaration of Independence was "1.the social contract"--specifically a social contract that specifies that the government is meant to serve the people, who give up certain freedoms in order to feel secure.

explain the differences between the Virginia Plan and the New Jersey plan. how were these differences resolved
Delicious77 [7]
Both plans involved how the new Constitution would define representation in Congress. The Virginia Plan proposed that the number of delegates be based upon population, thus favoring larger states with more people. The New Jersey Plan proposed that each state have an equal number of delegates, thus favoring smaller states with fewer people. 

Under the Virginia Plan, a state like Virginia would have had a much greater say in Congress than smaller New Jersey since Virginia had a larger population. Under the New Jersey Plan, New Jerseyans would have had a disproportionate say relative to Virginians. Consider this, if each state had two delegates (under the NJ Plan) let's say New Jersey had 500,000 people and Virginia had 1,000,000 (not the real numbers). With two delegates, New Jersey would have had 1 say in Congress per 250,000 voters while Virginia would have had 1 say in Congress per 500,000 voters. 

These differences were resolved by creating a bicameral legislature. Today, the House of Representatives is a remnant of the Virginia Plan. States with larger populations have more seats in the House than those with smaller populations. For example, California has far more Representatives than Wyoming meaning California has a much greater say in the House. The Senate, on the other hand, is a remnant of the New Jersey Plan. Each state has two Senators regardless of population, which means each state has an equal say. Again, California has two Senators and Wyoming has two Senators despite the fact that California is much larger than Wyoming - this gives Wyoming a much greater say per voters than California. No law can pass through Congress without approval from both chambers of Congress, which means that smaller states are not overpowered, while larger states still have the ability to set the agenda.

Why Russia has many pipelines in their country ?
REY [17]

Explanation:

A new natural gas pipeline being built under the Baltic Sea from Russia directly to the German coast is shaking up geopolitics. Nord Stream 2, as it’s called, worries the bypassed countries in Eastern Europe, who fear losing transit fees, and is adding to friction with the U.S., which argues the link would give the Kremlin new leverage over Germany and other NATO allies. As the project nears completion, those trans-Atlantic tensions are building, with Donald Trump threatening to reduce the number of American troops in Germany partly because of the gas link.
