The correct answer is A. The second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence echoes John Locke's Second Treatise of Government.
Explanation:
On July 4, 1776, at war with Great Britain, the Continental Congress adopted a document to formalize independence. Its writing had been entrusted to Thomas Jefferson, a native colonist from Virginia, recognized for his ability to write clearly and eloquently. Influenced by the ideas of the English philosopher John Locke, Jefferson was a strong advocate of individual rights. In this way, Jefferson included in his text many of the precepts enunciated by Locke in his Second Treatise of Government.
