Question

question 9 1 pts this quote is from a historical document. a prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. how does this quote reflect the influence of enlightenment ideas on the founding fathers?

• they were concerned with property rights.
• they supported individual liberties.
• they created a limited monarchy.
• they had reservations about self - government.

Explanation:

1. Analyze the quote: It states a tyrant - like prince is unfit to rule free people. Enlightenment ideas emphasized individual liberties and the idea that rulers should respect people's rights; a tyrant violates those, so the Founding Fathers, influenced by Enlightenment, supported individual liberties (as a tyrant is unfit for free people who value liberties).
2. Evaluate other options:

• "Property rights" is not directly related to the quote's focus on a tyrant and free people.
• The US is not a limited monarchy, so this is incorrect.
• The Founding Fathers supported self - government, so "reservations about self - government" is wrong.

Answer:

B. They supported individual liberties.
