Answer:

The ideas from Enlightenment that influenced the Founding Fathers when writing the Declaration of Independence were the following:

1. People are entitled to certain natural or unalieable rights.

2. The government had to protect those rights.

3. The government’s legitimacy comes from the consent of the governed and it had to be accountable for the people.

4. Whenever a government failed to protect people's fundamental rights, people had the duty and righ to replace it with a new one.

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence was a document highly influenced by Enlightenment ideas, especially those ideas developed in John Locke's "Two Treatises of Government" (1689).

In this work, Locke claimed that men were by nature free and equal, but with the purpose to interact in a healthy society, it was necessary that they transferred some of their rights to a government in a "Social Contract". Under that contract, the government had to be elected by the people and had to protect people's natural rights to life, liberty, and property. However, whenever the government failed to do so, people had the authority to abolish it and replace it.

Similarly, in the Declaration of Independence, the Thirteen American colonies unanimously declared independence from Britain for violating the social contract, for not securing people's unalienable rights of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness (The latter being a concept said to be taken out from one of the others Locke's work). Likewise, the colonies also favored a limited government whose power had to come from the consent of the governed and that had to be accountable for people.

Jacob dreamt that he was driving a shiny red sports car and that he was pulled over by the police, but the officer was his best
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Manifest

Latent.

Explanation:

According to psychoanalysis, dreams are made up of two different components:

  • Manifest content: This refers to the actual dream, in other words, the images, and the literal content of the dream and the story of it.
  • Latent content:  This refers to the hidden meaning the manifest content is hiding. In other words, is the interpretation of the literal content to give it a meaning based on the symbols and the story of the individual

In this example Jacob dreams that he was driving a shiny red sports car and that he was pulled over by the police who was his friend. Since this is t<u>he literal content, </u>Jacob's actual dream represents the manifest content.

On the other hand, his psychoanalyst interpreted this dream as meaning that Jacob feels his friend is holding him back, since this is an <u>interpretation</u> of the dream, it represents the latent content.

const2013 [10]

The correct answer would be, No, very little work on outside world.
