Question

European Enlightenment writers of the 17th and 18th centuries, such as John Locke, influenced the colonial development of the United States by providing

1-justification for state-supported churches
2-ideas about self-government and political rights
3-a defense of the slave trade
4-arguments in favor of the monarchy and the government by divine right

Answer 1

Answer:-ideas about self-government and political rights

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Correct answer is 2-ideas about self-government and political rights .

Step-by-step explanation:

Locke's ideas about self-government and natural rights of the people influenced founding fathers, especially Jefferson who incorporated that ideas in the Declaration of Independence. Therefore option 2 is correct.

First option is not correct as Enlightenment writers were stressing out that church shouldn't have that much authority.

Same goes with the last option as Locke discussed about natural, not divine rights.

Third option is not correct as Locke was totally opposing slavery.
