Answer:

<em>That 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, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.</em>

Explanation:

The Declaration of Independence held many influences of the Enlightenment movement, especially the works of John Locke.

John Locke had an interesting view of the social contract, he believed that men had natural rights (life liberty and property) and that people united created a government that would secure these natural rights.

But Locke also defended that when the government failed to defend these rights people had the right to form a new government as a way to protect their rights.

In the U.S., a common cultural belief is that debts must be repaid. Which of the following is true of other societies?
Rzqust [24]

Answer: C.  All societies view debt as something that must be repaid

Explanation:

Generally speaking, there is no society that does not treat debt as something that should be repaid because being debt, it was acquired with the promise that the owner would be paid back the death after a certain period.

To come and deny a person the chance to get their money back when the time comes is simply not a good thing and it would be very rare to find out that some societies are fine with debt not being repaid.
