Explanation:

Question 3

The quotation emphasizes the people's right to change or abolish a government that is destructive. The "consent of the governed" principle (from Enlightenment thinkers like Locke) states that government's legitimacy comes from the people's consent, and they can revoke it if the government fails. Equal rights (1) focus on equality, religious freedom (2) on faith liberty, separation of powers (3) on dividing government power—none match as well as (4).

The quotation (from the Declaration of Independence - inspired by Enlightenment) justified colonists' fight. Option (1) is wrong (colonies opposed monarchy). (2) is wrong (they sought independence, not compromise). (4) is wrong (it's about American, not British in Europe). (3) fits: it helped justify fighting for independence.

Answer:

1. consent of the governed
