<span>1. The correct answer is D. Natural rights are rights that everyone has, naturally. You're born with these rights, and no one can take them away. Since the Pledge of Allegiance says "with liberty and justice for all," it demonstrates that liberty and justice are a few of these natural rights, given to everyone. 2. The correct answer is A. This was a compromise because several states obtained the majority of their profit through slave labor. B and D are incorrect because the point of the Declaration was to sever all ties with the King of England (which also makes C incorrect). 3. The correct answer is "from the consent of the governed." This means that the people living under the government are the ones give the government its power. Since the US is a democracy, in which the people vote for representatives who then vote for what the people want, the government indeed gets its power from the people. 4. The correct answer is B. This shows the relationship between the people and the government, or the social contract. Just as the government has the duty to set in place just rules for the people, the people also have the duty to make sure that the government is fulfilling its duties. 5. The correct answer is C. Popular refers to the people, and sovereignty means rule. Together this means rule by the people. So, the people themselves have the duty to ensure that the government is performing its roles. 6. The correct answer is D. The Declaration of Independence talks about the natural rights that every person has and that can't be taken away. Natural rights are the same thing as inalienable rights. 7. The correct answer is B. The Magna Carta was a document that the King signed to give the people certain liberties. This document greatly influenced the democratic ideals that would later shape the US. 8. The correct answer is C. More colonies sent delegates to the First Contintental Congress, and those delegates remained there for a long time to discuss what they needed to do to take action against the British. This shows a greater unification among the colonies. 9. The correct answer is C. "Common Sense" was another document that heavily influenced the colonists. In this pamphlet, Paine articulated the frustrations and desire for independence that many people were feeling. 10. The correct answer is a. "All men are created equal" includes women as well, in that "men" is used as a neutral marker to denote all human beings. This doesn't mean that everyone has the exact same capacity (i.e. intelligence), but it does mean that we're all human beings and that we should be treated equally.</span>
