One of the biggest historical events leading to the formation of the US government was Enlightenment ideas stemming from Europe. The writings of Montesquieu and Locke were particularly important to how the US was framed as a system of branches and individual freedoms. The goal was to give states power to make decisions individual to their people and region and keep larger matters like war, debt, taxes, etc. to the federal government. The initial amendments in the Constitution referred to as the Bill of Rights addressed specific issues the American people dealt with under British rule. For example, amendment 4 addresses the quartering of soldiers the colonists were required to do following the French and Indian War. The 10th amendment specifically gives rights to the states if it is not explicitly addressed in the Constitution for the federal government. This was to prevent a monarchy and/or dictatorship in the future. <span />

Answer:
<h2>D. People can govern themselves in a republic.</h2>
Explanation:
Two examples of Enlightenment views in support of people's ability to govern themselves would be the thinking of John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
According to Locke's view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed. He argued for a representative form of government in which legislators were put in place by having the majority of people supporting them. Then the leaders would need to govern in such a way that the people's rights to life, liberty, and property were protected.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), in his landmark book, <em>The Social Contract</em>, strongly championed the sovereignty of the people (rather than thinking of kings as the "sovereign" ones). Rousseau contended that the "general will" of the people is always right -- in the sense that the people will, collectively, make decisions that are good for them as a society.
C, It led people to question humanism and base modern philosophy on Christian moral principles.
Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941. It was called Operation Barbarossa. This was Germany's attempt to cripple the Soviet Union, and take control. As for the Soviet war effort they didn't want involvement. They'd signed a non-aggression pact with Germany. <span />
