    The answer is B. E can be eliminated because their ideas originate from the teachings and preachings of Locke. D can be too because no slaves were discussed. Very few, if any Latin phrases were used. If I recall correctly, there are none. A can be eliminated because the navy is not heavily discussed. However, the abuse of power in the hands of a tyrant is discussed.
