Taken together, the two sources best illustrate which of the following aspects of political philosophy in the period circa 1750–1900 (C) E.?

(A) Constitutions around the world decreed representative governments for their citizens. (B) Monarchs exerted a great deal of influence in their nations’ governments. (C) Military dictatorships often supplanted democratic governments. (D) Industrialization propelled societies to demand more social obligations from their governments.Explanation: Both sources mention legislatures, so eliminate (B). Choice (C) is true, but not reflected in either of the passages. Choice (D) is also not mentioned in either passage, so eliminate it. Choice (A), the idea that constitutions around the world established representative governments, is correct.
