The claim made in the Declaration of Independence that people had the right "to alter or abolish" unjust governments reflects the thinking of

a. Thomas Hobbes

b. Voltaire

c. John Locke

Answer:

John Locke

Step-by-step explanation:

John Locke was an English political analyst and scholar who was famous for his stance on political liberalism.

He believed that the most basic law of human nature is the preservation of mankind of which he said humans have three basic rights which include right to life, freedom and ownership of property.

Therefore, the claim made in the Declaration of Independence which states that people had the right "to alter or abolish" unjust governments reflects his thinking.
