Answer: The power, legitimacy, authority of the government come from its citizens

Explanation: Since the Declaration was written under the direct influence of the Enlightenment ideas, the second paragraph gives meaning, that is, the basic thesis, which is why the Declaration was written. Since, according to Enlightenment ideas, all people are born equal with the same innate natural rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of personal happiness, so these same people have the right to choose a government that protects the natural rights of their citizens. This means that if a government is tyrannical, as was the British rule over the 13 colonies, then the citizens have the right to overthrow and replace such a government, which was the for writing a declaration as a guarantor and guide to creating a state independent of British rule that was tyrannical and all in line with the Enlightenment ideas. That is why the second paragraph speaks of a government that will protect the interests and rights of citizens, i.e the government's mandate, authority and powers come from the people, which is a prerequisite that, according to the Enlightenment, such a government should not be tyrannical.

never [62]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

The idea that it is often necessary to negotiate a shared meaning in order for satisfying communication to occur relates to which characteristic of the communication model?

a) Sending and receiving are usually simultaneous

b) meanings exist in and among people

c) environment and noise affect communication

d) channels make a difference

e) none of the above

Answer:

The idea that it is often necessary to negotiate a shared meaning in order for satisfying communication to occur relates to:

b) meanings exist in and among people.

Explanation:

According to the transactional communication model, meanings reside in the people involved in communication. People are the ones who express and interpret meanings. The messages themselves, be them verbal or nonverbal, do not have an inherent meaning. Therefore, for communication to occur satisfactorily, meaning needs to be successfully conveyed and understood.
