I believe it is A, because of the education that could now be explored at universities.
The Founding Fathers created the U.S. government to have numerous checks and balances as well as a VERY limited central (federal) government. They did this to prevent a relapse of the tyranny (hence “absolute power”) they dealt with under the British Empire. The American colonies were essentially meant to serve the mother nation (Britain), but the colonists braved the journey to America to establish a new, freer nation with religious freedom as its top priority.
To prove this quote is still relevant today, it’s not unknown that when humans acquire power, it’s very easy for them to abuse that power. Examples of this would be the oligarchies we see in Russia and China with a very small amount of people in power living in a lap of luxury while everyone else lives a subpar life.
The answer is B. Citizens don’t have time to vote on every issue so we elect representatives to vote for us
Ancient Egypt had pharaohs as their leaders. Similar to kings, pharaohs were picked by whoever was next in the bloodline. Pharaohs were on top of the social structure, followed by nobles and priests, soldiers, scribes, merchants, artisans, farmers and finally slaves. The pharaoh ranked above everyone else and his word was absolute. The pahraoh was the person who looked over everything. Whatever he said, people had to do.
The colonies were better off governing themselves without British influence.
