Explanation:

Question 15

The Declaration of Independence's "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" is influenced by John Locke's ideas of natural rights (life, liberty, property). Thomas Hobbes focused on social contract for security, Voltaire on freedom of speech/religion, Montesquieu on separation of powers. So the correct thinker is John Locke.

The US Constitution has separation of powers (executive, legislative, judicial), an idea from Montesquieu. Option b (religion influencing laws) is against the Constitution's secular intent, c (divine right) is monarchical (rejected by US), d (power divided among states) is about federalism but the key Enlightenment idea here is separation of powers.

The English Civil War led to the monarchy's temporary abolition and Oliver Cromwell's rule. The French and Indian War was colonial (US/France), American Revolution was US independence, Glorious Revolution restored monarchy with limits. So the conflict is the English Civil War.

Answer:

c. John Locke
