The Declaration of Independence elaborates on the Enlightenment idea of
-
Natural rights.
-
Collective ownership.
-
Religious freedom.
-
Political equality.
Correct Answer
A. Natural rights.Explanation
The Declaration of Independence elaborates on the Enlightenment idea of natural rights. This is evident in the document's emphasis on the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The Enlightenment philosophers, such as John Locke, believed that individuals possess these inherent rights that cannot be taken away by any government or authority. The Declaration of Independence reflects this belief by asserting that these natural rights are the foundation of a just government and that it is the government's duty to protect and uphold these rights.Rate this question:

In contrast, states in Group A (Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts) and Group C (Illinois, Indiana, Ohio) were located in the northern region, which experienced significant industrialization during this time period.

The growth of U.S. manufacturing during the late nineteenth century created a need for new markets to sell its products. This led to support for an Open Door policy in China, which aimed to ensure equal trading opportunities for all countries in China. The United States wanted to access the Chinese market and prevent other countries from monopolizing it. This policy was seen as a way to expand U.S. trade and influence globally, rather than adopting an isolationist foreign policy or acquiring African colonies. The increasing demand for markets, therefore, contributed to the support for the Open Door policy in China.Rate this question:
