Answer 2

The answer is B. The founding fathers were all strongly influenced by enlightened thinkers and philosophers of the time when drafting the Declaration of Independence. One particular philosopher was John Locke, who wrote in his work that the natural rights of man include "life, liberty, and property" and these natural rights should not be given up the citizen in the face of the government. "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" is extremely similar Locke's notion of the Social Contract.
