Question

Identify which principle of government is expressed in the excerpt from the Declaration of Independence. Excerpt 6: In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler. Excerpt in modern language: Every time we colonists felt we were being treated unfairly, we wrote the king. He answered by treating us more unfairly. A ruler who abuses his power should not rule us

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include the options for this question. However, we can answer the following.

The principle of government that is expressed in the excerpt from the Declaration of Independence is the principle of Republicanism.

The excerpt of the Declaration says: "In every stage of these Oppressions, We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury."

So the correct principle is Republicanism, the form of government in which the citizens are protected by the law. These citizens can participate and make decisions through their representatives because, in a Republic, politics is a public thing that involves the participation of citizens.
