Question

the glorious revolution of 1688 helped convince american colonists that
the king had absolute
power over the colonies.
they should be able to
practice the religion of their
choice.
england had held up its
end of the social contract.
they had the right to
overthrow an unjust
government.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The Glorious Revolution in 1688 established that if a government (like the previous English monarchy) acted unjustly, people could overthrow it. The colonists drew from this idea. The first option is wrong as the revolution limited the king’s power. The second is not directly linked to the Glorious Revolution’s impact on colonial views of governance. The third: The social contract idea here—after the Glorious Revolution, England’s new governance showed a contract where the government must act justly; but the key takeaway for colonists was the right to overthrow unjust rule, not just that England held up its end. The fourth option aligns with the revolution’s message about overthrowing unjust authority.

Answer:

they had the right to overthrow an unjust government.
