Your answer would most DEFINITELY be D., because it is already stated that "men", (all people), easily abuse the right of liberty and may not be given 100% trust, so the government must make sure to help protect the right from the selfishness of the people's use of that right. :)

Answer:

The quote best reflects the idea of natural law. It says government power must be restricted to protect rights because people by nature are selfish.

Explanation:

The natural law is a philosophy holding that all humans beings are born with certain inalienable and universal rights (such as the right to freedom, life, privacy, etc.). Sentence number 4 reflects this idea because "liberty" is considered one of those inalienable and universal rights that no one, not even the government, can take away from people, and it also reflects the idea that government power must be restricted to protect those rights because people by nature are selfish: "all men having power ought to be mistrusted."

Who was in the Triple Entente
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The Russian Empire, The French Third Republic, and Great Britain formed Triple Entente.

Explanation:

The Triple Entente describes informal understanding between the Russian Empire, the French Third Republic, and Great Britain. It was based on the Franco-Russian alliance of 1894, the 1904 Entente cordiale between Paris and London, and the Anglo-Russian Agreement of 1907. It was a strong counterweight to the Triple Alliance of Germany and Austria-Hungary and Italy. Unlike the Franco-Russian alliance or the Triple Alliance, the Triple Entente itself was not a mutual defence alliance. At the start of World War I in 1914, all the three members of the Triple Entente were Allied Powers against the Central Powers in Germany and Austria-Hungary. On September 4, 1914, the Triple Entente published a statement pledging not to conclude a separate peace and to demand only the peace conditions agreed between the three parties. Historians continue to discuss the importance of the alliance system as one of the causes of the First World War.
