Correct answer:  

<h2>B. God</h2>

Explanation:

The word "divine" refers to God (the Deity).  Divine right of kings' theory asserted that kings could not be challenged by the people, because kings were appointed by God to rule over people.  King James I  (1566-1625) and King Charles I (1600-1649) and other monarchs of their era used this argument to bolster their control of government.

In the 17th century, the divine right theory was challenged by philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes and John Locke, who argued the idea of a "social contract."  According to this 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.  

John Locke repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his<em> First Treatise on Civil Government </em>(1690).  Locke took aim at the arguments of a particular divine right monarchy theorist, Robert Filmer, who traced authority to rule back to Adam, the first man created by God.  Locke gave logical rebuttal to show that if that if that were so, then there should only be one true heir in the world today that would rule by divine right as the one king over the whole world.  (Locke also presented other reasoned arguments against divine right theory, but that's one example of how his thinking proceeded.)

In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government</em> (1690), 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.   Locke maintained that the people always remain in charge, and asserted that the people have the power to change their government and remove government leaders if the government is not properly serving the needs and well-being of the people.

Why did the United States decide not to participate in the League of Nations established by the Treaty of Versailles at the end
Pani-rosa [81]
Joining the League of Nations would be like signing a blank cheque - America didn't want to have to ship its troops half way across the world for disputes that didn't concern them. It didn't want to risk its economy or any more American lives after the losses of WW1. The Republicans wanted to return to Isolationism - being an independent country and not involving itself in other countries affairs. <span>America also strongly disagreed with the Treaty of Versailles.</span>

What is Confucianism? Taoism? A brief description of each.
padilas [110]

Taoism is concerned with the search for meaning, while Confucianism deals with societal issues. Despite the fact that these ideas were in existence long before either philosophy, they share similar concepts about man, society, and the world. Both began as philosophies that later took on religious overtones.

<h3>What do you think of Confucianism?</h3>

Confucianism encourages ancestor worship in addition to human-centered principles for peaceful life. Confucianism's primary precept is "Do unto others as you would not that others should do unto you." There is debate over whether Confucianism counts as a religion.

<h3>What is the definition of Taoism?</h3>

According to Taoism, both people and animals should coexist in harmony with the Tao, or the universe. Taoists think that after death, the spirit of the body merges with the spirit after death.
