Read the following passage written by John Locke. Which ideals expressed

during the American and French revolutions does this passage represent?

Man being born, as has been proved, with a title to perfect

freedom, and an uncontrolled enjoyment of all the rights

and privileges of the law of nature, equally with any other

man, or number of men in the world, hath by nature a

power, not only to preserve his property, that is, his life,

liberty and estate, against the injuries and attempts of

other men; but to judge of, and punish the breaches of that

law in others, as he is persuaded the offence deserves,

even with death itself, in crimes where the heinousness of

the fact, in his opinion, requires it."

A:separation of church and state

B:natural rights

C:social contract

D:popular sovereignty
