"That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it" What enlightenment idea is Jefferson expressing in this quote? (SSCG2c) a. Theory on Governance b. Spirit of Laws c. Social Contract Theory d. Natural Rights

The correct answer is B) Spirit of Laws.

The Enlightenment idea that Jefferson is expressing in this quote is "Spirit of Laws."

"The Spirit of Laws" was a book or treatise published by the French philosopher and thinker Baron of Montesquiou in 1748. It is considered to be a foundation of government laws and principles that citizens support to have good rulers. That is why Thomas Jefferson included some of these ideas in the Declaration of Independence, drafted by him and other four prominent founding fathers: Roger Sherman, Benjamin Franklin, Robert Livingston, and John Adams.

Montesquiou was one of the many philosophers and thinkers that influenced the founding fathers. Other great thinkers from the Enlightenment were Voltaire, Jean-Jaques Rousseau, John Locke, and Thomas Hobbes.

this is true hope this

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.
