The correct answer to this question is the following.
Match the ideas that influenced Thomas Jefferson to the thinkers who wrote about them.
John Locke:
-People have the right to create a new government if their government does not obey the social contract.
-A government should protect the natural rights of its people.
Thomas Paine:
-The American colonies were at a considerable distance from their ruling nation.
-The laws imposed by the British government on the colonies were unreasonable.
Founding father Thomas Jefferson was an Antifederalists who played a prominent role in the drafting of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, and in the creation of the new Constitution of the United States during the Constitutional Convention of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania during the summer of 1787.
Jefferson received the influence of the ideas of Thomas Pain and his pamphlet "Common Sense," and of English Enlightenment thinker John Locke.
Other brilliant minds of the Enlightenment inspired other American founding fathers like Benjamin Franklin. We are talking of Enlightenment philosophers like Voltaire, Thomas Hobbes, Jean-Jaques Rosseau, and Baron of Montesquiou.

Answer:
Explanation:At the start of the twentieth century there were approximately 250,000 Native Americans in the USA – just 0.3 per cent of the population – most living on reservations where they exercised a limited degree of self-government. During the course of the nineteenth century they had been deprived of much of their land by forced removal westwards, by a succession of treaties (which were often not honoured by the white authorities) and by military defeat by the USA as it expanded its control over the American West.
In 1831 the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Marshall, had attempted to define their status. He declared that Indian tribes were ‘domestic dependent nations’ whose ‘relation to the United States resembles that of a ward to his guardian’. Marshall was, in effect, recognising that America’s Indians are unique in that, unlike any other minority, they are both separate nations and part of the United States. This helps to explain why relations between the federal government and the Native Americans have been so troubled. A guardian prepares his ward for adult independence, and so Marshall’s judgement implies that US policy should aim to assimilate Native Americans into mainstream US culture. But a guardian also protects and nurtures a ward until adulthood is achieved, and therefore Marshall also suggests that the federal government has a special obligation to care for its Native American population. As a result, federal policy towards Native Americans has lurched back and forth, sometimes aiming for assimilation and, at other times, recognising its responsibility for assisting Indian development.
What complicates the story further is that (again, unlike other minorities seeking recognition of their civil rights) Indians have possessed some valuable reservation land and resources over which white Americans have cast envious eyes. Much of this was subsequently lost and, as a result, the history of Native Americans is often presented as a morality tale. White Americans, headed by the federal government, were the ‘bad guys’, cheating Indians out of their land and resources. Native Americans were the ‘good guys’, attempting to maintain a traditional way of life much more in harmony with nature and the environment than the rampant capitalism of white America, but powerless to defend their interests. Only twice, according to this narrative, did the federal government redeem itself: firstly during the Indian New Deal from 1933 to 1945, and secondly in the final decades of the century when Congress belatedly attempted to redress some Native American grievances.
