A group of citizens in a country are angry at their king. They feel that he unfairly oppresses them because of their religious b
eliefs. They also believe that his laws and taxes benefit a few wealthy nobles instead of helping the majority of the country's citizens. They would like to replace the king with an elected president who would represent the interests of all citizens. This group follows which of these political philosophies? A. Liberalism B. Absolute monarchy C. Enlightened absolutism D. Separation of powers
<em>The group follows the political philosophy of Liberalism.
</em>
Liberalism is a political doctrine that supports and protects the liberty of individuals. People that believe in liberalism consider that the government must protect the freedom of its citizens. That is why in the case of this question, it is written that the individuals are tired of the oppression exerted by the King and want to have elections that represent the needs of the people. That group follows the political philosophy of Liberalism.
I highly believe the answer is A. Liberalism. Liberalism means "open to new behavior" or willing to discard traditional values. That is exactly what the citizens were doing... they were looking for a new king. I hope I helped!
The French Revolution, however became the spark for the Haitian Revolution after the French revolutionaries declared that all men be free and equal and when word spread to Haiti, a French colony, the African slaves of the island agreed and decided to rise up.
