Answer:

<em>Lincoln-Douglas debates propelled Lincoln's political career into the national spotlight, while simultaneously stifling Douglas' career, and foreshadowing the 1860 Election. By 1858, Stephen A. Douglas was the most prominent politician in the West, if not the entire country. The Lincoln-Douglas debates were a series of seven debates between Democratic Senator Stephen A. Douglas and Republican challenger Abraham Lincoln during the 1858 Illinois senatorial campaign. The main issue of the debates was the extension of slavery into American territories.</em>

Explanation(Short it up): <em><u>The Lincoln Douglas debates were a series of debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas and they were both running for senate. The debate was mainly about slavery.</u></em>

Which of the following most inspired the inclusion in the Declaration of Independence of the right of the people to revolt again

<span>Locke's Second Treatise on Civil Government. Locke argued for the idea that the people are ultimately the source of authority in governing, Thus the people also have the right to unseat a government that is not properly serving the nation's people. John Locke was arguing the idea of a "social contract."  According to his view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed.  This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler.  Locke repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his First Treatise on Civil Government.  In his Second Treatise on Civil Government, Locke argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting their own life, liberty, and property.

</span><span>The American founding fathers read Locke (as well as other Enlightenment writers).  The American Revolution (1775-1783) and the ideas included in the Declariation of Independence and the Constitution were inspired by writers such as Locke. </span>
