Challenges to Voluntary Societal Participation
All men have a right to remain in a state of nature as long as they please. And in case of intolerable oppression, civil or religious, to leave the society they belong to, and enter into another. When men enter into society, it is by voluntary consent; and they have a right to demand and insist upon the performance of such conditions, and previous limitations as form an equitable original compact...HTMLBREAKThe natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man; but only to have the law of nature for his rule.”
Which of the following colonial-era practices most directly challenges the belief, later articulated by John Adams, in the voluntary nature of societal participation?
A
Mandatory religious observance laws in New England colonies
B
Primogeniture laws limiting inheritance to the eldest son
C
Documentation of civic engagement through town meetings
D
The imposition of indentured servitude in colonial societies
