The correct option is D

The 1996 Atlanta Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXVI Olympiad and informally like the Centennial Olympic Games, were held in Atlanta, United States, between July 19 and August 4, 1996. A total of 10,318 athletes participated ( 6806 men and 3512 women) from 197 countries, competing in 26 sports and 271 specialties.

The Games transformed the city of Atlanta profoundly, leading to a modernization of infrastructures and new sports facilities. The Olympic Village later constituted a residential area and equipment for the Technological Institute of Georgia. At the end of the Games, the Centennial Olympic Stadium was destroyed and replaced by a baseball field that occupies part of the grounds of the previous Olympic Stadium. Atlanta 1996 did not use public money to finance the Games, as it did in Los Angeles 1984. However, it was the first Olympics where all the financing was made through ticket sales, advertising, sponsorships and private investments. Unlike the 1984 event where a profitability worth 250 million dollars was achieved, Atlanta '96 profits were only 10 million.

Marrrta [24]

Which statement accurately describes a similarity between the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence?

A. Both establish limits on the power of government

B. Both protect citizens from government oppression.

C. Both reflect ideas of Enlightenment thinkers.

D. Both create governments featuring separation of powers.

Answer:

C. Both reflect ideas of Enlightenment thinkers.

Explanation:

The statement that accurately describes a similarity between the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence is option C because they both reflect the idea of enlightened thinkers.

The Declaration of Independence is a historical document that contains evidence of America officially separating from Great Britain.

The document contains the unhappiness at the government and the need for independence.

This document and the US Constitution did not set up any type of government which renders the other options as false.

Enlightened thinkers like Locke and Hobbes helped influence these two historical documents.
