1. They were influenced by John Locke who introduced them to the rules of natural rights and natural law. Locke explained to the founding fathers that according to these concepts, all individuals are equal and are born with some inalienable rights, which cannot be removed or modified by anyone, as they are given by God and are important for everyone's survival. The founding fathers found these concepts coherent and adopted these thoughts.

Competing conquistadors arrived and fighting broke out which killed half the Spanish in 1519. Then later in 1521 European diseases killed most of the Natives which allowed Cortes to lead a brutal attack and succeed.
The Battle of Midway gave the allies an advantage in the pacific. This is because the US forces there destroyed four aircraft carriers, causing major damage to Japanese naval air forces to the point they couldn’t replace them in time before the war ended.
Here are why the other answers are incorrect:
The island of Midway was actually under US control before the attack, and was too far from Japan for attacks to be held there. However, it was a crucial airbase that had to be kept for control of the local region.
The Japanese took a few more years to surrender, but some historians consider this battle to be a turning point in the pacific campaign.
The majority of carriers were not destroyed at midway, but as stated above, the destruction of four proved to be a crucial victory, since the Japanese couldn’t replace them in a timely manner.
Hope this helps!
