question 16 (5 points)
which of the following is not an authoritarian form of government?
a) direct democracy
b) dictatorship
c) totalitarianism

Explanation:

1. For the first question about the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson's original draft included a passage condemning slavery as evil, but it was removed due to political compromises. Statements about government - consent of the people, and Britain taking natural rights are in the final version. The idea of colonies having representatives in Parliament was not part of the Declaration.
2. For the second question, authoritarian forms of government concentrate power in the hands of a few or one individual. Direct democracy is a form of government where the people have a direct say in decision - making, which is not authoritarian. Dictatorship and totalitarianism are highly authoritarian.

Answer:

1. A. Slavery was evil.
2. A. Direct democracy
