"the power of the government is derived from the governed .John Locke believed in the right of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He did not believe that kings had a divine right to rule, but that the people <span>of the country should choose their leader."

</span>"The Divine Rights of Kings was basically used before the Glorious Revolution. It allowed kings to be above the law; anything they say, goes. But when the Glorious Revolution came along in 1689, Parliament took power away from the king and they were no longer "above the law." They were expected to obey the law <span>just as everyone else"</span>

Describe the techniques used to make mud bricks.
Volgvan

Answer:

Adobe bricks (mud bricks) are made of earth with a fairly high clay content and straw. If produced manually the earth mix is cast in open moulds onto the ground and then left to dry out. Adobe bricks are only sun-dried, not kiln-fired. When used for construction they are laid up into a wall using an earth mortar.

What is the purpose of the declaration of independence and the declaration of the rights of man documents?
Masja [62]

The main purpose of both documents is to assert the rights and freedoms of the people to form their own governments -- governments which will protect their rights as citizens.

Historical context:

The Declaration of Independence (1776) asserted the American colonies' decision to break away from British government.  It included the same Enlightenment ideals of natural rights and liberties that would characterize the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen produced later (1789) in France.

The Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen is a fundamental document of the French Revolution, which was written by Abbé Sieyès and the Marquis de Lafayette.  Abbé Sieyès was a prominent clergyman in France who supported the rights of the common people.  The Marquis de Lafayette was a member of the nobility who had fought in America's war for independence against Britain. Their document was written in consultation with Thomas Jefferson of the United States, who had drafted the Declaration of Independence.
