SAT World History Practice Question
"It has been thought a considerable advance towards establishing the principles of Freedom to say that Government is a compact between those who govern and those who are governed; but this cannot be true, because it is putting the effect before the cause; for as man must have existed before governments existed, there necessarily was a time when governments did not exist, and consequently there could originally exist no governors to form such a compact with. The fact, therefore, must be that the individuals, themselves, each, in his own personal and sovereign right, entered into a compact with each other to produce a government: and this is the only mode in which governments have a right to arise, and the only principle on which they have a right to exist." The text above was part of a pamphlet written in support of which of the following?
- A.Russian Revolution
- B.Velvet Revolution
- C.Haitian Revolution
- D.Glorious Revolution
- E.French Revolution
