Answer:
B. Most people south of the United States still speak Spanish, or a language that is influenced by the Spanish language.
Explanation:
It is not A, because Spain was a Catholic country, thereby, when creating colonies and dealing with the natives of Central and South America, they converted the natives to Catholicism, not Protestants.
It is not C, because Spain did not technically settle much of the United States, only reaching towards the south of the US (around present-day Texas), and temporarily in the Louisiana Purchase after it acquired the territory from France (only to give it back). Most Spanish speaking regions are found simply in the south, or from further immigrations later on in history.
It is not D, for again, the Spanish did not extensively settle what is now known as the United States. The United States draws most of it's language and culture from Great Britain, therefore having the United Kingdom as the ancestery of choice (during that time and age).

The correct answer is " Citizens would be able to form governments that ensure their interests."
The idea of a social contract involves citizens of a country giving up some of their individual liberties (aka freedoms) so that the government can make society safer. Hobbes argued that this social contract, despite the fact that it limits individual freedoms, will benefit citizens because they have the opportunity to pick their leaders who will make laws based around their wants/needs.
The basic conflict between James I and Parliament was that James I wanted more money to pay for wars, and for the first time in British history Parliament wouldn't not give him the money without certain restrictions.
