Locke's contribution to American political thought was the way he formulated liberal thought. In Locke's thought, men have intrinsic moral worth. They are capable of being their own moral agents, thus capable of self rule. They are equal, and they are free from claims of divine right to rule. This is liberalization, meaning that traditional ruling systems of personal power, justified by divine right, are rejected. The political power is opened up to the people, and "opening" is what liberalism means. When the people have the sovereign power, power becomes a public matter. In Latin, that is "Res Publica." Self rule is a republic. The power of the people is delegated to representatives to speak on their behalf so people have a stable environment in which to pursue economic activity.
Since men are free and equal, then, they have natural rights. These are life, liberty, health, and pursuit of property. Property is the source of political power, hence freedom, and this comes with the obligation to defend it so you don't lose that liberty. You cannot alienate your natural rights. You must set up a system to limit encroachments and preserve your rights. So you must have the ability to protect your freedom, which is the right to pursue property. Jefferson cribbed this line but he changed "property" to "happiness."
A common explanation is that the Civil War was fought over the moral issue of slavery. In fact, it was the economics of slavery and political control of that system that was central to the conflict.

Answer: A. In 2019, the United States had to lower its prices on goods sold to European nations.
Explanation:
In 2019 the Euro could be exchanged for less dollars than in 2008. This means that the U.S. Dollar got stronger. As a result, U.S. goods will now be more expensive in 2019 than they were in 2008 to a person using the Euros because they would now have to pay more to get the same goods they used to get.
In order to maintain profitability therefore, the U.S. will reduce its prices in 2019 so that people using the Euro would be able to purchase goods for the cheaper prices they had been able to purchase those goods in 2008.
