The correct answer is D.

The popular sovereignty principle was developed during the Enlightenment era, constituted by philosophers that promoted Reason and the scientific method over medieval superstitions and religious dogmas, and the establishment of democratic societies where the power resided on its people, and not in absolute monarchs or rulers "appointed by God", that prevailed back then.

This is why the <u>Declaration of Independence, based on many Enlightenment principles, included that the power of a goverement has to be derived from the consent of the governed</u>, which usually are entitled to elect political representatives through suffrage.

laiz [17]

Answer:

Letter D. Distrustful

Explanation:

From the second half of the 18th century onwards, after the English victory in the Seven Years' War, the English economy was extremely shaken by the expenses with the war. With that, the eyes of the English Crown turned to its 13 colonies in America. The English Crown aimed at the urgent application of mercantilist legislation in the English colonies.

In addition, with the advent of the Industrial Revolution, England needed markets, but because of the relative colonial autonomy (healthy neglect) they always had, the colonies were never consumers of metropolitan production.

Thus, the Crown issued numerous decrees, considerably restricting the relative autonomy of both the northern and southern colonies. It was essential for England to transform its colonies into consumer markets for English production. This situation led the metropolis to close the siege by inspecting the colonies, instituting a series of taxes. How: The Sugar Law, the Stamp Law, the Tea Law, and the Intolerable Laws.

Revolted, the colonists did not accept the impositions adopted by the English Crown. In this climate of dissatisfaction and revolt among the colonists, libertarian ideals influenced by Enlightenment thinkers emerged. Aware of their strength, they refused to pay the fees and turned a blind eye to the taxed products. England was not prepared to negotiate and the clash between the colonists and the metropolis was inevitable. These factors triggered the war of independence for the 13 English colonies.
