I think the answer is
C. France is richer and stronger
In order for me to answer this question I would need to know who the narrator is. Give more details.
Champlain, Samuel de. ... In 1603, Champlain made his first trip to North America, to the St. Lawrence River to explore and establish a French colony. In 1604, he returned to northeastern Canada, and over the next four years became the first to map the North Atlantic Coast.
Title: Voyage of Samuel de Champlain, 1604-1608
Author: Champlain, Samuel de, 1567-1635
Source: Champlain, Samuel de. Voyages of Samuel de Champlain. Translated from ...
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
Some major points in this declaration:
*All men are created equal.
*All men have basic human rights given to them by God.
*The only reason to have a government is to protect these basic human rights, which Jefferson lists as "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
*Government must be by the consent of the governed.
Hope this helps
