Explanation:

Islam didn’t prosper in Central Africa because Islam was meant for regions with radical geographical inequalities.

That is, Islam is a desert religion… and Central Africa is a wet tropical region without the geographic inequalities of the desertic lands. Islam simply was not needed there.

So, let’s ellaborate: the main argument of the article is that Islam was born as a desert religion in a region characterized for very wealthy and productive “pockets” of arable land located amidst large regions of un-arable desert (this is, radical geographic inequality). This meant that the inhabitants of the poor lands had little incentive to invest in any kind of capital acumulation and, instead, every incentive to raid and take what the rich pockets produced. The resulting equilibrium meant a state of perpetual unstability and conflict between these two parts of the population.

Islam solved this through an economic doctrine of both static and dynamic redistribution. In essence, the “rich” regions were obligated to pay a religious tax given then to the “poor” regions and capital accumulation was prevented. In the words of the authors:

vitfil [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include the options for this question. However, we can answer the following.

The principle of government that is expressed in the excerpt from the Declaration of Independence is the principle of Republicanism.

The excerpt of the Declaration says: "In every stage of these Oppressions, We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury."

So the correct principle is Republicanism, the form of government in which the citizens are protected by the law. These citizens can participate and make decisions through their representatives because, in a Republic, politics is a public thing that involves the participation of citizens.
