Explanation:

John Locke was a 17th century Englishman who serves as an inspiration for the founding of the United States. The idea of John Locke that most influenced the development of self-government in the American colonies was that citizens have a right to revolt and replace an existing government that becomes oppressive. John Locke believed that all governments must provide the natural rights of the citizens, which are: life, liberty, and property. Since American colonies not had liberty or property, they had the right to revolt and replace their existing government.

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.
