Question

The passage below was written by John Locke in his Second Treatise of Government. Writings like this greatly influenced the creators of the Declaration of Independence.


The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power
on earth, and...to have only the __________ for his rule.

Based on what you know of the Declaration of Independence, which phrase completes the quotation?
divine king
law of nature
law of Parliament
limited monarchy

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct answer is law of nature .

Explanation:

Locke believed that all people were born free, something that Jefferson used later while drafting Declaration. He believed that no government should be above the laws of nature and that is why the only correct option in here is this one.

He totally opposed the idea of divine kings, but of course these options are not related to the answer to the question itself.
