Answer:
Correct statements are the following:
- John Locke was an enlightened thinker who helped inspire the Declaration of Independence by inspiring the idea of the right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness".
- Thomas Jefferson was the primary author of the Declaration of Independence.
- The first part of the Declaration, which declares the purpose of the document, is called the Preamble.
- One section of the Declaration is a list of 'self evident truths' that should be protected for all citizens.
Explanation:
Regarding the second correct statement, originally, Richard Henry Lee was supposed to be the author of the Declaration of Independence, but due to his responsibilities as a member of the Committee of Confederation and his wife's illness, he wasn't able to perform such a task and it was then given to Thomas Jefferson.
The section that contains the list of self-evident truths (truths that are known to be true without proof) is the Preamble, the first part of the Declaration, which also declares its purpose. This is what that part sounds like: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness."
The second statement is incorrect as a committee of five, not ten, people drafted the declaration: John Adams of Massachusetts, Benjamin Franklin of Pennsylvania, Thomas Jefferson of Virginia, Robert R. Livingston of New York, and Roger Sherman of Connecticut. This committee is known as the Committee of Five.
The list of grievances against the king for unjust actions against the colonists remained in the Declaration. The list, written after the Preamble, contains 27 grievances against the British Crown.

Answer 1.
- <em>Thomas Paine</em> stated that England protected the 13 colonies for the sake of trade and dominion, he also points out that England would have protected any country for those same reasons because their only motive <em>was interest and not attachment </em>to the 13 colonies.
Answer 2.

He also wrote that the government used<em> tyrannical practices against the colonies. </em>
Answer 4.
- Thomas Paine thought it was a proper time <em>to stop waiting four to five months for a petition to be reviewed</em> and that it made no sense to travel three or four thousand miles with a petition. He thought Britain had no rightful power in America's justice.

Answer 6.
- Thomas Paine told the American people in Common Sense<u> that independence from Britain was possible.</u> He said that <em>if there had to be a king it would have to be the rule of law and not of a single man.</em> He proposed a free republic where any payment would go to the law because "the law is king".
