<em>The correct answer is A. People have the right to overthrow a government that violates their rights .</em>

John Locke developed the concept of natural law and stated in his book "Two treatises of government", that under natural law, all people have the right to life, liberty and heritage and contributed to the concept of Social Contract addressed by several enlightened thinkers, that under the "Social Contract" people could instigate a revolution against the government when it acted against the interests of the citizens, to replace the government with one that served the interests of the citizens. Locke considered that the citizen has the right to the revolution and that in certain circumstances, he has the obligation to exercise it to safeguard the people against tyranny.

While Locke believed it correct that the government was represented by a constitutional monarchy, ie a monarch supported by a parliament, he was against all absolute monarchy and conceptually did not give the monarch the place to care for a people without sanity but rather gave the State the priority of protecting the citizen against injustice. He said that injustices are what alter the natural state of tolerance and good judgment of citizens sometimes leading him to act with justice by their own hand and it is the State that must guarantee the right to life, property and freedom, to maintain the social order and give rise to the prosperity and happiness of individuals.

Locke was the son of Puritan Protestants and at the time of the Glorious Revolution he was living in the Netherlands and certainly supported this revolution.

Make a case for the Native Americans’ right to remain on the Western Plains.
Irina-Kira [14]
An argument for why the Native Americans should have the right to remain on their lands would most likely be based on the fact that they have a  historical right to this land and own it even without the standard documentation of ownership. Native American populations inhabited certain regions like the Western Plains for centuries and their removal was arguably unjust and against American values. Therefore, one could also argue that their land should be accorded to them based upon American respect for private property, human dignity, and liberty.

How did the peaceful negotiations described by Clemenceau impact politics?​
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

It made political leaders truly think about who they let into their "inner circle" in a way. Because Clemenceau hated Germany and just wanted them to pay no nice conversation just cold heartless payback. And he even got France to back him up in the same thought.

Explanation: The basic gist is this just made the leaders of countries think a little harder about who they allowed in and if they allowed anyone in, they truly had to be sure they knew who they were messing with.

While jews were a main target of the nazis which other group was also a target?
andre [41]

Apart from Jews, Roma people (gypsies) were also a target of Nazi Germany.

While most of those sentenced to death in the gas chambers of the Nazi concentration camps during World War II were Jews, these were not the only ones who suffered this condemnation. Gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally ill and psychic and physical handicapped were other groups affected by deportations and death sentences in the concentration camps.
