History

Answer:    Governments are instituted to protect citizens’ rights.

Explanation:  Enlightenment thinkers argued that the government was in the service of the citizen, and as such obliged to protect the natural rights of the people. This entailed a so-called social contract guaranteeing the natural rights of the people and a protective attitude towards the citizens, but also the duty of the citizens to support the government in their efforts to secure those rights. This also meant that the government would be replaceable if it did not protect the interests of the citizens until moral authority was secured that would legitimately protect the citizens, which again meant that the government had to be changed as many times as necessary, the danger would be present if this were not done.

Why were Americans interests nearly identical to those of Latin American nations ?
kogti [31]

Even though in different ways both Americans and Latin Americans wanted freedom and independence.

The colonization in the United States consisted differently than in Latin America where exploitation took place, both parties wanted to prosper and be independent of their colonizers. In this sense it is possible to say that the interests were the same.
