History

Answer:

b. By violating the social contract with the colonists, the king has lost his authority to rule.

Explanation:

The French philosopher John Locke is known for favoring a limited government that had to be accountable for the people it governs and having a great influence in may of Democratic governments that exist nowadays. In his Two Treatises of Government" (1689), Locke claimed that men were by nature free and equal, but with the purpose to interact in a healthy society, it was necessary that they transferred some of their rights to a government in a "Social Contract". Under that contract, the government had to be elected by the people and had to protect people's natural rights to life, liberty, and property. However, whenever the government failed to do so, people had the authority to abolish it and replace it.

These ideas highly influenced the Declaration of Independence. In this document, the Thirteen American Colonies unanimously declared independence from Britain for violating the social contract, as part of the document states:

<em>We hold these truths to be self-evident, that </em><em>all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.</em><em>--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That </em><em>whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government</em>

Name and explain 2 effects of the Birmingham Campaign on civil rights in the 1960s?
jok3333 [9.3K]

The Birmingham Campaign spurred civil rights struggles in other states across the country and positioned Martin Luther King as a great black leader.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The Birmingham Campaign started in April 1963.
  • This campaign started the fight for civil rights, where blacks gathered in groups, to make protests, marches, and claims about their rights.
  • They also began to break segregation laws and began to occupy places that were not allowed for them, such as the first seats on a bus.

The campaign caused a lot of repercussion across the country and annoyed those responsible for racist and segregationist laws. By the end of that campaign, the struggle for civil rights was established across the country, and in addition, Martin Luther King had positioned himself as a great leader and an inspiration to many people.
