"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."-Declaration of Independence This quote reflects the political principle of (3 points) Select one: a. popular sovereignty because it requires that all citizens have the same status in society b. social contract because citizens will only agree to be ruled by those who are their equals c. natural rights because people are born equal with certain rights because they are humans d. democracy because if people are equal then they all have the right to run the government

Well, the quote from the DoI puts an emphasis on "all men are created equal" and during this time in history humanism was a big thing. And America is and always has been very protective of their rights, just for being humans. With these facts in mind, I'd have to say the answer is C, since it does make the most sense in junction with the Declaration of Independence.
okay thats helpful. I have another question if you can answer?
:D
so is it C or B
In my opinion it would be C. This question is tough, though, since most of the other answers could also make sense in this context. With D, democracy HAS been a staple within the American government. Though, I still think it's C.
Sorry I think it is C... What I said and @Epikal said! :D
ok. can i send my last question?
Go ahead
Federalism is the principle that the (3 points) Select one: a. central and state governments will share power and responsibility b. states are sovereign and only unified when facing a foreign threat c. nation is unified under a single and powerful central government d. government powers should be divided between three branches
c?
The definition of Federalism is "A system of government in which power is divided between a national (federal) government and various regional governments." Basically a federation. Think Star Wars, if you will. A federation is a group of organisations (countries, companies, and such), that have basically all gotten together and formed a club of sorts. This is to appear intimidating and protect themselves better, and offer protection if one of their pals is threatened. With THAT in mind, I'd have to say the answer is B.
thanks so much
No problem ;)
Yeah! Great Job! :D
