<span>B. Locke held that the principle of popular sovereignty endowed the people with the right of resistance to illegitimate government.

Locke believed people had natural rights and those rights were to be protected by a government. In exchange for entering into society a government is necessary but the government has no sovereign power at all. Sovereignty, or decision making power, rests in the hands of the people and they have the right to change the government if it is not meeting the needs of the people. </span><span />

Correct answer:  B. Locke held that the principle of popular sovereignty endowed the people with the right of resistance to illegitimate government.

John  Locke believed people are born as blank slates--with no preexisting knowledge or moral leanings. Experience then guides them to the knowledge and the best form of life, which includes choosing to form governments to make life and society better.  

His political philosophy was rooted in "social contract" theory.  According to his view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed.  This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler.  Locke repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his <em>First Treatise on Civil Government </em>(1690).  In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government</em> (1690), Locke argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting their own life, liberty, and property.  This included the people retaining the right to resist and replace an illegitimate government.

How did the development of democracy in Athens affect the lives of ordinary citizens?
dsp73
The correct answer in this question is B - for the first time, ordinary citizen could participate directly in government. 

The reason for this is that when people started directly voting, they had more power and could directly see who will be in power in the futue as well. This in turn made them more "powerful" as they could directly influence who would be in charge of the city.
