Question

paragraph 1 (1 point)
when the legislators shall... grasp for themselves, or put into the hands of any other, an absolute power over their lives, liberties, and estates of the people;... they forfeit the power the people had put into their hands for quite contrary ends, and it returns to the people, who have a right to resume their original liberty;...
— john locke, two treatises on civil government

q = the ideas in this passage inspired which of the following historical developments?
○ a rise of absolute monarchs
○ b spread of feudalism
○ c rise of representative democracies
○ d spread of christianity

Explanation:

La frase de John Locke trata sobre el contrato social y el poder del pueblo. Las democracias representativas se basan en la voluntad del pueblo. El ascenso de monarquías absolutas (a) va en contra, el islamismo (b) no está relacionado, y la expansión del cristianismo (d) tampoco. Así, la idea inspira el ascenso de democracias representativas.

Answer:

c. Rise of representative democracies
