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.

What were some of the conditions, which prevented music in the middle ages from developing more rapidly?
trasher [3.6K]
Music was still underdeveloped due to various reasons. For example, there weren't that many instruments being used and music was mostly conducted vocally, with only a few types of instruments being used from time to time. Technological developments also obstructed this as Polyphony hadn't yet been discovered until later. Another thing was pressure from the church as there was a norm of what music should look like and be like and anyone who came up with the idea of making something differently was ostracized.
