Answer:
A. It inspired Americans to move toward self-rule by declaring independence from a government that denied them representation, is the correct answer.
Explanation:
John Lock influenced the founding of United States. He was 17th century English philosopher who defined the nature of government, he wrote about the basis of legitimate government in his work Second Treatise of Government. According to Locke a ruler gains the authority to rule only through the consent of governed and it is the duty of the people to protect the natural rights of people. The natural rights included life, liberty and property and if the government fails to protect the natural rights then the people have the right to overthrow the government. All these ideas influenced the founding fathers to declare freedom from the British rule and drafting the declaration of independence as the British government denied them representation.
