I'm really not sure about this one, I think it's (A).
A. A town holds a meeting, and every citizen present votes to make a decision.*** My guess
B. People vote for representatives who will make decisions on their behalf.
C. The president makes a speech about the need to protect rights for all citizens.
D. National leaders decide to split government into three separate branches.
7 is correct, but 10 is not.
The Roman Republic. ... Once free, the Romans established a republic, a government in which citizens elected representatives to rule on their behalf. A republic is quite different from a democracy, in which every citizen is expected to play an active role in governing the state.

For question 7, the correct answer is B. John Locke believed that if the government fails to protect natural rights, it breaks the social contract and people have the right to create a new government. To arrive at this answer, you should be familiar with Locke's theory of government and natural rights. According to Locke, the purpose of government is to protect the natural rights of life, liberty, and property. If the government fails to fulfill this purpose and does not protect these rights, it loses its legitimacy, and the people have the right to abolish it and create a new government that will protect their rights.
For question 10, the correct answer is A. The event that best reflects the republican government of ancient Rome is when a town holds a meeting, and every citizen present votes to make a decision. This is called direct democracy, where citizens directly participate and make decisions through voting. This is similar to the republican form of government where power is held by the people, and they exercise it through voting and direct involvement in decision-making. The other options do not accurately reflect the republican government of ancient Rome; they are more aligned with different forms of government like representative democracy or separation of powers.
