The correct answer to this open question is the following.

What is the purpose of government according to US president Thomas Jefferson, is "to protect the natural rights of the American people and secure life, property, and the pursuit of happiness."

I completely agree with the concept of government stated by Antifederalist US President Thomas Jefferson.

Indeed, when he drafted the Declaration of Independence with the help of other four prominent Americans(Roger Sherman, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Livingston, and John Adams), Jefferson clearly established the foundation of the ideals that would appear in the Preamble of the United States Constitution.

After so much debate and discussion on the part of the delegates who participated in the Constitutional Convention of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, they agreed on including a Bill of Rights that is the first ten amendments to the US Constitution. Drafted by James Madison, these amendments include the ideas expressed by Thomas Jefferson of liberty and natural rights.

My own views on the purpose of government based on the statement of Thomas Jefferson is that those rights are the reason for our existence as a  nation. The federal government and the other forms of government (state and local) have the responsibility -granted by the American citizens- of protecting those rights and liberties, creating peace and economic conditions for every American to thrive.

Which of the following is a major contribution of the Byzantine empire ?

Preservation of Greek and Roman civilization during the Middle Ages.

Between the fall of Roman civilisation in the fifth century CE and the Renaissance, there was a time period known as the Middle Ages in European history (variously interpreted as beginning in the 13th, 14th, or 15th century, depending on the region of Europe and other factors). Italian humanists used vile motives when they coined the phrase and gave it its usual connotation. The humanists were engaged in a rebirth of Classical learning and culture, and the concept that there had been a thousand years of darkness and ignorance separating them from the old Greek and Roman civilization served to highlight the humanists' own labor and objectives. Italian humanists used vile motives when they coined the phrase and gave it its usual connotation.
