Question

base your answer to question 11 on the quote below and on your knowledge of social studies
.... \that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it,\...

  1. which enlightenment principle does this quotation refer to?

(1) equal rights (2) religious freedom
(3) separation of powers (4) consent of the governed
base your answers to 12 and 13 on the passages below and your knowledge of social studies.
rulers are as likely to use the power... for private purposes, and to the injury and oppression of those over whom they are placed, as individuals in a state of nature are to injure and oppress one another. it is therefore as proper that bounds (limits) should be set to their authority.... the powers, rights and authority, granted to the general government by this constitution, are as complete, with respect to every object to which they extend, it reaches to every thing which concerns human happiness - life, liberty, and property are under its control. there is the same reason, therefore, that the exercise of power, in this case, should be restrained within proper limits.... source: the anti - federalist no. 84 on the lack of a bill of rights, brutus (anonymous), 1787
i go further, and affirm that bills of rights... are not only unnecessary in the proposed constitution, but would even be dangerous. they would contain various exceptions to powers which are not granted; and on this very account, would afford a colorable pretext (excuse) to claim more than were granted. for why declare that things shall not be done which there is no power to do? why for instance, should it be said, that the liberty of the press shall not be restrained, when no power is given to the government to restrain the press?....
source: federalist papers no. 84, alexander hamilton, 1788

  1. which statement identifies a key difference between documents 1 and 2?

(1) brutus argues that individual rights need more protection from the government, while hamilton argues that the constitution already protects those rights.
(2) brutus argues that governments are likely to abuse their power, while hamilton argues that democratically elected governments can be trusted.
(3) brutus argues that the government should not have power over peoples property, while hamilton argues that this control is necessary to ensure peace and prosperity.
(4) brutus argues that the united states should reunite with britain, while hamilton argues that it should remain independent.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • For question 11:
  • The quote "That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it" is related to the concept of the consent of the governed. The idea is that the people have the right to change or get rid of a government if it fails to serve their interests. This is a key Enlightenment principle where the authority of the government is based on the consent of the people it governs.
  • Equal rights (1) refer to all people having the same fundamental rights, which is not the main focus of this quote. Religious freedom (2) is about the right to practice religion without persecution, not relevant here. Separation of powers (3) is about dividing government power among different branches (e.g., legislative, executive, judicial), which is also not the subject of this quote.
  • For question 12:
  • Brutus (from Document 1) says that rulers are likely to abuse power and that a Bill of Rights is needed to protect individual rights (as bounds should be set to government authority). Hamilton (from Document 2) argues that bills of rights are unnecessary in the proposed constitution as the powers granted to the government are complete and there is no need to declare rights that the government has no power to violate. So, Brutus wants more protection for individual rights from the government, while Hamilton thinks the Constitution already protects those rights.
  • Brutus does not say that democratically elected governments can be trusted (2 - incorrect). Brutus is not against government having power over property (3 - incorrect as he is more focused on rights protection). There is no mention of reuniting with Britain in either document (4 - incorrect).

Answer:

  1. (4) consent of the governed
  2. (1) Brutus argues that individual rights need more protection from the government, while Hamilton argues that the Constitution already protects those rights.
