The Founders viewed the Constitution as an agreement between the people and the government that could be broken if the government failed to do its job. Which Enlightenment idea is based on?
A. Natural rights
B. Popular sovereignty
C. Social contract
D. Republicanism
Natural rights are explained my Locke and in some sense has nothing to do with this question. Same with Popular sovereignty. Republicanism is one where I might hold a bit of doubt but I'm pretty sure it's C.
