The Preamble quote that most specifically refers to natural rights: "[T]hey are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

John Locke was one of the first of the Enlightenment era philosophers.  The Enlightenment's emphasis on reason was in contrast to superstition and traditional beliefs.  The Scientific Revolution had shown that there are natural laws in place in the physical world and in the universe at large.  Applying similar principles to matters like government and society, using reason will guide us to the best ways to operate politically so as to create the most beneficial conditions for society.  This included a conviction that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved.    Locke's ideal was one that promoted individual freedom and equal rights and opportunity for all.  Each individual's well-being (life, health, liberty, possessions) should be served by the way government and society are arranged.

There have been several steps taken since the Christmas Day Tsunami in 2004 to help in case of a future disaster. Three of the steps are new warning systems & risk assessment, education & public awareness, and mitigation & building codes to ensure the buildings could handle another big wave. The Tsunami killed tens of thousands of people. It was a horrific natural disaster.

The Napoleonic wars were a series of battles between France and of European nations.
user100 [1]

Answer:

Coalitions

Explanation:

During the Napoleonic wars the European countries that had fallen under the control or influence of the Napoleonic Empire made alliances or coalitions to defeat the French army and rid Europe of Napoleon.  There were seven coalitions formed between 1792 and 1815.  By 1812 Napoleon had pretty much taken over western Europe, most countries had either been annexed to the empire or fell under the categories of "under the influence" or "allies".

The seventh coalition finally defeated Napoleon for good at the battle of Waterloo in 1815.
