they forfeit the power the people had put into their hands for quite contrary ends, and it passes to the people, who have a right to resume their original liberty. ...
— john locke, two treatises on civil government

q = which idea is expressed in this passage?

a the people should give up their liberty to create an orderly society.

b people have the right to rebel if their natural rights are denied.

c liberty can only be guaranteed in a direct democracy.

d governments should be obeyed regardless of their actions.

Explanation:

Analicemos el pasaje de John Locke: cuando el legislativo abusa del poder sobre las vidas, libertades y bienes de la gente, pierde el poder delegado y la gente recupera su libertad original. Esto implica que si los derechos naturales (vida, libertad, propiedad) son negados, la gente tiene derecho a rebelarse (recuperar el poder).

• Opción a: El pasaje no dice que la gente debe renunciar a la libertad, sino lo contrario. Elimina a.
• Opción b: Coincide con la idea de que si el gobierno (legislativo) niega los derechos naturales, la gente recupera el poder (derecho a rebelarse).
• Opción c: El pasaje no menciona democracia directa, solo el poder del pueblo y el legislativo. Elimina c.
• Opción d: El pasaje indica que el gobierno debe ser obedecido solo si actúa correctamente; si abusa, la gente recupera el poder. Elimina d.

Answer:

b. People have the right to rebel if their natural rights are denied.
