B, the enlightenment was all about explaining with reason, and religion didn't play a role in the enlightenment. Lots of scientists questioned the church.
Popular sovereignty is the idea that government's power should be determined by the people. The Declaration asserts that to secure their individual rights, the people institute governments for themselves -- that governments derive "their just powers from the consent of the governed."
The same phrase within the Declaration focuses on the idea of a social contract - that our agreement to live under a government is an implicit pact between the governors and the governed. Social contract theory was argued by English philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes and John Locke in the 17th century. American founding fathers took a number of their ideas from the political philosophy of John Locke. Locke's <em> Second Treatise on Civil Government</em> put forth his social contract theory and design for a representative form of government.
We haven't yet addressed natural rights. The strong assertion that all human beings have inherent natural rights is asserted in the most famous phrase from the Declaration of Independence: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, <u>that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights,</u> that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
I believe the answer is A !
Answer:
I believe the answer is either C or D. But more likely is C!
Explanation:
I think it is not A because the British were actually having a hard time "preventing" the mass flood of people going west.
I don't think it is B because it would not be possible to enforce them.
It would be possible to be D but the British had the problem of the Native Americans who were killing the settlers. So the British had to focus on treaties and such.
I think it is C because the British had to try to prevent the mass floods going west. They were overrunning and destroying treaties made by the British. I think it was called the "Proclamation of 1763" in which banned/restricted/limited the amount of Settlers to pass the Appalachian Mountains.
Although honestly, probably the main problem the British faced was the debt they were in after the way in which you will see the end result in the American Revolution. But that isn't a choice on here.
