Question

How does paragraph 3 contribute to the development of the idea that the powers of those in authority must be limited? K12.

Answer 1

Evidence that the powers of leaders should be limited us given by B. citing incidences of violence that arise when religious or government leaders go too far in exerting power.

You did not include the text in question but this should be the correct answer.

When power is unlimited:

• It can sometimes be abused it because leaders will not know where to stop
• Leaders might overexert their power such that it leads to violence as people rebel and they try to enforce their right to rule.

This is what happened in the American Revolution, the French Revolution and the partly in the Glorious Revolution (there was no violence here but it happened because the King wanted to overexert himself).

We can therefore conclude that power should be limited unless it could lead to violence as all powerful leaders go too far in exerting their authority.
