The term Criollos refers to Latin Americans who were full or near full of Spanish descent but who were born in a Spanish colony.

The Criollos were a social class in the cast system of the oversees colonies established by Spain in the 16th century. The term was used to differentiate the Crollos from multi-racial Latin Americans and Latin Americans of European immigrant origins.

The Criollos were legally Spaniards but they ranked below the Iberian-born Peninsulares ( people who lived in the colony but were born in Spain). Nevertheless, they ranked higher in social hierarchy than people of mixed descent, Amerindians and enslaved Africans.

The word Criollo stems from 19th century Spanish 'native to the locality'.

Which of the following choices reflects the theories of John Locke? A. People have natural rights and government is based on a c

viktelen [127]

Correct answer: A. People have natural rights and government is based on a contract.

Explanation/details:

English philosopher John Locke believed that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved. Locke's ideal was one that promoted individual freedom and equal rights and opportunity for all. Each individual's well-being (life, health, liberty, possessions) should be served by the way government and society are arranged.

Thus, In his political theory, Locke argued the idea of a "social contract." According to his view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed. This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler. Locke repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his First Treatise on Civil Government. In his Second Treatise on Civil Government, Locke argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting their own life, liberty, and property. This includes the right to replace an unjust government with one that properly serves the people's rights.
