The correct answer is: ""That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." According to the principle of Social Contract developed by 18th century Philosophers (notably Jean-Jacques Rousseau) a government is only legitimate if it respects the authority that people have consented to give it in order to protect their inalienable human rights and that it loses such legitimacy when it does the opposite, the people (the governed) have the right to modify it or overthrow it.
The Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar (who ruled between 605 and 562 BC) built the Hanging Gardens of Babylon around the city because his wife, <em>Queen Amytis</em>, who was from Media, missed the natural scenery of her country. The Hanging Gardens of Babylon were one of the <em>Seven Wonders of</em> <em>the Ancient World.</em>

The mental standpoint from which something is considered, understood, and evaluated is a perspective.
A perspective could be seen like a filter by which people are observing reality, thus always conditioning the reality because as all filters some informations do not arrive, and others are misunderstood. The challenge is to understand that everyone has its own filter, so we should take this in consideration when talking to people.

In middle and high school homeworks are of great use, reinforcing informations and so on. In elementary school, however, they just tend to make student lose interests and focus on the lessons, which should be their principal aim.
Answer: B. Adam Smith
Scottish philosopher Adam Smith (1723-1790) was strongly critical of the economic system that prevailed in his era. Smith criticized what he called the "mercantile system" because it restricted trade and thus restricted economic growth. The mercantile system believed the wealth of the world was a fixed amount, measured primarily in gold and silver accumulated. The system promoted a nation selling its products abroad but not needing to buy from others, or imposing heavy tariffs if importing anything. Colonies were created to provide raw materials and resources to the mother country and a market for the mother country's products. Commerce was heavily controlled by the government through charters granted to specific trading companies.
Adam Smith countered by advocating a free market -- the opportunity individual businessmen and for all nations to increase their wealth by exchanging goods freely with one another according to what would become known as capitalist principles. We also speak of <em>"laissez-faire"</em> ("let go") as a term for this sort of free-market economy, set free from government controls. This term came from a French group of thinkers called the Physiocrats (meaning "rule by nature') who were working during the same 18th century era as Smith. The Physiocrats and Smith were in agreement about getting government out of the business of controlling business.
