I guess the best answer from those listed would be:

B) limited government

Perhaps better stated would be that this quote sets forth the ideas of natural rights and the social contract.

Thomas Jefferson (writer of the Declaration of Independence) and other American founding fathers got their ideas about natural rights and the social contract from philosophers of the Enlightenment, such as John Locke (1632-1704).  Locke strongly argued 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.  This meant that the arrangement between citizens and a government was a "social contract" - that the citizens created the government for the protection of their own rights, and if a government did not protect those rights it could be replaced.

The American founding fathers accepted the views of Locke and other Enlightenment thinkers and acted on them.

Place the technology advancements in the order in which they emerged. Tiles the first school of oceanic navigation Ptolemy’s map
rjkz [21]

Here's the order:

  1. Ptolemy's map of the world
  2. the first school of oceanic navigation
  3. Portuguese caravels with triangular sails

Details:

Ptolemy (ca. 100-150 AD) was an astronomer, mathematician and geographer in the Roman Empire era.  Ptolemy's map of the world was a map based on descriptions in Ptolemy's book, <em>Geography, </em>which dates back to around the year 150 AD.

Prince Henry the Navigator started the first school for oceanic navigation at Sagres, Portugal, for training in navigation, map-making, and science. The date of founding of the school (and even full details about it) are a bit uncertain, but it seems to have been established in about 1418.  Prince Henry was called "The Navigator" because of his strong support for sending out ocean exploration voyages.

Caravels were developed by the Portuguese around the middle of the 15th century (around 1450).  These more agile ships were better suited to ocean sailing than previous ship models used in the calmer waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

How did ancient Greeks chose their location for their colonies
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the first half of the first millennium BCE, ancient Greek city-states, most of which were maritime powers, began to look beyond Greece for land and resources, and so they founded colonies across the Mediterranean. Trade contacts were usually the first steps in the colonization process and then, later, once local populations were subdued or included within the colony, cities were established. These could have varying degrees of contact with the homeland, but most became fully independent city-states, sometimes very Greek in character, in other cases culturally closer to the indigenous peoples they neighboured and included within their citizenry. One of the most important consequences of this process, in broad terms, was that the movement of goods, people, art, and ideas in this period spread the Greek way of life far and wide to Spain, France, Italy, the Adriatic, the Black Sea, and North Africa. In total then, the Greeks established some 500 colonies which involved up to 60,000 Greek citizen colonists, so that by 500 BCE these new territories would eventually account for 40% of all Greeks in the Hellenic World.
