Answer: Yes, absolute privilege

Explanation: Defamation could be explained as an unwarranted statement or remark made about a certain person or individual. In many cases, such statements are vulgar, demeaning and untrue. In the scenario above, both senators could be said to be guilty of making damaging remarks to one another which could tarnish the image or reputation of either of them. However, this does not mean any of them cannot sue for Defamation. However, since both of them are senators, members of congress or public office holders, therefore the remarks and statements made about each other are deemed to be 'privileged' and as such may not form a rigid basis for suing for Defamation.

British colonists in north america in the late seventeenth century were greatly influenced by the political thought of ________.
Tasya [4]

British colonists in North America in the late seventeenth century were greatly influenced by the political thought of John Locke.

One of the most well-known philosophers and political theorists of the 17th century was John Locke. He is frequently credited with founding the British Empiricism school of thought and with having contributed significantly to the development of contemporary views of limited, liberal governance. The "Father of Liberalism" is how most people refer to him.

The concepts of natural law, social contract, religious toleration, and the right to revolt were pioneered by Locke and proved crucial to the American Revolution and the ensuing U.S. Constitution.
