Answer:
<h2>D. People can govern themselves in a republic.</h2>
Explanation:
Two examples of Enlightenment views in support of people's ability to govern themselves would be the thinking of John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
According to Locke's view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed. He argued for a representative form of government in which legislators were put in place by having the majority of people supporting them. Then the leaders would need to govern in such a way that the people's rights to life, liberty, and property were protected.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), in his landmark book, <em>The Social Contract</em>, strongly championed the sovereignty of the people (rather than thinking of kings as the "sovereign" ones). Rousseau contended that the "general will" of the people is always right -- in the sense that the people will, collectively, make decisions that are good for them as a society.
