Answer:  C.  Citizens must be allowed to overthrow a government that does not protect their rights.

Context/details:

In preparing the <em>Declaration of Independence, </em>Thomas Jefferson and the American patriots were asserting their right to govern themselves and throw off the government of the British monarchy.   The American founding fathers got ideas like this from the Enlightenment philosopher John Locke.  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.  In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government</em>, Locke argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting their own life, liberty, and property.  This also meant the right to change a government if the existing government did not protect those rights.

During the late 1800's and early 1900's millions of people immigrated to the United States. Identify and explain several reasons
Ulleksa [173]
In the late 1800s, people in many parts of the world decided to leave their homes and immigrate to the United States. Fleeing crop failure, land and job shortages, rising taxes, and famine, many came to the U. S. because it was perceived as the land of economic opportunity. Others came seeking personal freedom or relief from political and religious persecution, and nearly 12 million immigrants arrived in the United States between 1870 and 1900. During the 1870s and 1880s, the vast majority of these people were from Germany, Ireland, and England - the principal sources of immigration before the Civil War. Even so, a relatively large group of Chinese immigrated to the United States between the start of the California gold rush in 1849 and 1882, when federal law stopped their immigration.

What economic impact did world war 1 have on Latin America?
allsm [11]

Answer:

Latin American countries continued to pursue export-led growth after the First World War. However, the external environment was by then much less favourable. Export growth was therefore modest. Fiscal and financial policies became more orthodox after the war and this, coupled with the disappointing performance of the export sector, made it difficult to promote industry – especially in those countries where it had yet to take root. By the time of the Great Depression, no Latin American country had been able to escape from dependence on primary product exports. The region was therefore very vulnerable to the subsequent collapse of commodity prices.

Does participation in global treaties and organizations help or hinder U.S. sovereignty?
Nezavi [6.7K]
No, to some observations with US policies it still displayed independence with some foreign policies especially when it comes with economy and security. But most friendly and humane foreign policies have adhered. Only it looks into critical decision-making that I believe can have an impact or a disadvantage.
