Answer:

D. Hobbes's theory that all men are inherently evil and need a single all-powerful monarch to rule over them.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

A. Nietzsche's theory of nihilism, in which it is believed life has no meaning.

B. Montesquieu's idea of dividing political power among several branches of government.

C. Aquinas's arguments for the existence of God and his definitions of the nature of God.

D. Hobbes's theory that all men are inherently evil and need a single all-powerful monarch to rule over them.

The political philosophy that Hobbes developed was one of the major theories to contribute to the start of the Enlightenment in the 17th century. This theory states that government exists in order to provide safety. This is because, in a state of anarchy, men will abuse and kill each other, as we are naturally evil and selfish. The existence of a government ensures our protection in exchange of giving up a certain degree of freedom. This is known as the social contract.

The philosophers are René Descartes and David Hume used "rational skepticism" to ensure that their thinking was based on logic and not on prejudice


The Enlightenment heralded a new willingness to question authority in all areas of life. Scientific discoveries increased rapidly, and the questioning of the monarchy led to political reform and revolution


Disciplines such as natural history, modern science, and natural law were all born out of the Enlightenment. Ideas such as the separation of church and state, religious tolerance, and free speech were also fruits of the Enlightenment.


Thomas Jefferson drafted the The Declaration of Independence. He served as the third President of the United States and founded the University of Virginia.


The Declaration of Independence captures in a succinct and powerful way the relationship among humanism, Enlightenment philosophy, and political governance. It established the idea of a new nation that was a product of the philosophies of the era.

He wanted to make sure the men that sacrificed their lives for a cause, and that cause be a just one. He wanted to preserve the union at all cost, as well as give all men equality and liberties that they deserved. That was the cause he found necessary, and the cause our men rallied behind.

Thats what I think at least,

Hope it helps.

nikklg [1K]

Las respuestas correctas son las siguientes.

C) La prepotencia del gobierno inglés y la prohibición de venta de té.

E) El impuesto al te y la creación del papel timbrado.

La independencia de las trece colonias inglesas de América del Norte en 1776 tiene como antecedentes la prepotencia del gobierno inglés y la prohibición de venta de té, así como el impuesto al te y la creación del papel timbrado.

Los miembros de las 13 colonias inglesas estaban hartos y enojados por la imsposición de muchos impuestos por parte de la coronoa Británica. Entre otros, el impuesto a la navegación, el impuesto a la imprenta, el impuesto al té, así como las constantes agresiones por parte de las tropas inglesas como fue el caso del terrible incidente llamado "La Masacre de Boston."

Además, lo pero del caso, es que los Americanos pagan esos impuestos, pero nunca tuvieron voz ni voto, o algún tipo de representación en el Parlamento Inglés.

De ahí el llamado al levantamiento y el comienzo de la Guerra de Independencia enla que el General George Washington lidereó al Ejército Continental de las 13 colonias. La Declaración de Independencia se realizó el 4 de julio de 1776.
