Explanation:

Question 6

The diagram includes quotes about equality, oppressive acts by Britain, and states' independence. The Declaration of Independence has these elements: it asserts equality, lists grievances against Britain, and declares states' independence. The Constitution focuses on government structure, the Articles of Confederation on early US governance (not these specific quotes), and the Mayflower Compact is a colonial agreement. So the best fit is the Declaration of Independence.

The divine right of kings theory holds that rulers get authority from a divine Creator (like God). Evolutionary theory is about government evolving over time, social contract is about people's agreement, and force theory is about government by force. So the theory where rulers get authority from the Creator is divine right (of kings).

The evolutionary theory of government states that governments evolved from families to clans, tribes, and then states over time. Divine right is about divine authority, social contract about people's agreement, and force about coercion. So the theory describing this natural growth is evolutionary.

Answer:

A. Declaration of Independence
