Explanation:

Question 7

The excerpt from the Declaration of Independence says governments get their just powers from the consent of the governed. Consent of the governed means the agreement of the people. Option a is incorrect as the monarchy isn't mentioned. Option c refers to people's rights, not the source of government power. Option d is the document itself, not the source of power. So the correct answer is based on the excerpt's statement about consent (agreement) of the people.

The quote about all men being created equal and inalienable rights (life, liberty, pursuit of happiness) is a well - known part of the Declaration of Independence. The Constitution focuses on government structure, the Olive Branch Petition was a plea to the king, and the Mayflower Compact was a colonial agreement. So this quote is from the Declaration of Independence.

The Battle of Yorktown was the final major battle of the American Revolutionary War. The British surrender at Yorktown convinced them the war was over. Saratoga was a turning point for American support, Monmouth was a battle but not the decisive end - of - war battle, and Trenton was an early American victory.

Answer:

b. The agreement of the people
