The principles of Enlightenment hugely influenced the founding American documents especially the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. The main idea is the idea of social contract where the government is from the people for the people and the division of power. As the state is used to denote the institutions which have power divided among multiple branches that each has a control over the other. This is known as the system of checks and balances. Also the idea that the government is there for the people and exists to protect their rights also comes from the Age of Enlightenment.

Read these sentences, and then answer the question that follows.
Alinara [238K]

The correct answer is answer C ("The article will be biased because the historian is using only one source about the ruler").

If a historian only took this one scroll to write a biography on its subject (the ruler), it would most likely be extremely misleading and inaccurate. There's no way of getting closer to the truth of any subject without contrasting a variety of opinions from different sources. What if people working for this ruler wrote it in a way that made him look good? What if it was written under pressure? What if it was a complete lie? These and many other questions should come to mind as possible ways in which relying on one source might compromise historical facts.


Hope this helps!
