Answer:

D. Life and liberty.

Step-by-step explanation:

The English philosopher John Locke made powerful arguments against the divine rights of kings, who were seen as the sovereigns in medieval times and in the early times of the modern era. Locke stated that human beings are born with natural rights such as the right to life, to liberty and property. Locke´s ideas influenced other thinkers of the Enlightenment and the thinking of the American Founding Fathers.
