IS B CORRECT ANSWER?THANK YOU:))))
I disagree with B as the answer.
Please rethink.
I think it's A but I'm not sure
I am having trouble finding the answer to this same exact question. The word "legitimate" is what deters me from answering A without hesitation.
the correct answer is c
No, option (b) is not the correct answer. The correct answer is option (d): the principles of self-government and liberty are not fully consistent with each other.
To arrive at this answer, let's break down the statement and analyze each option:
a. The option states that the principles of self-government and liberty are universal and the foundation of all legitimate governments. This option is incorrect since not all governments adhere to these principles, and not all principles of legitimate governments are built upon self-government and liberty alone.
b. This option suggests that the principles of self-government and liberty have no real meaning in practice. This option is incorrect as well because self-government and liberty are indeed foundational concepts that guide the operation of many governments and shape their policies.
c. The option states that the principles of self-government and liberty have the same meaning for all Americans. While these principles are significant in American political philosophy, they may have different interpretations and applications among the American people. Therefore, this option is also incorrect.
d. This option correctly states that the principles of self-government and liberty are not fully consistent with each other. While both principles are important, they can sometimes come into conflict with one another. For example, majority rule in self-government may potentially infringe upon the individual rights and liberties of minority groups.
e. This option states that the principles of self-government and liberty are not expressed in the Declaration of Independence. This option is incorrect as well because the Declaration of Independence explicitly mentions the importance of individual rights and liberty.
In conclusion, the correct answer is option (d): the principles of self-government and liberty are not fully consistent with each other.
