Answer:

Hope it helps:) Answer down below in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Which of the following is the most likely reason the phrase "the laws of nature and nature's God" was included in the Declaration of Independence? The writers of the Declaration of Independence used the phrase to express their belief in John Locke's theory of natural rights.

The Declaration of Independence was a reflection that the American natural rights republic was rooted in the natural law. Reason and divine revelation supported the natural law that shaped a good government built upon the understanding of human nature and the rights given to humans by God.
