S1: Governments are instituted among men to secure their certain inalienable rights. P: Accordingly, men are more disposed to suffer than to right themselves by abolishing the forms of governments to which they are accustomed. Q: But prudence will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes. R: They derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and therefore, can also be changed by them. S: But whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these rights of the people, it is their duty to throw off such a government. S6: Such was the necessity which constrained the united colonies of America to give up their allegiance to the British Crown and declare themselves free and independent states. The Proper sequence should be: A. PRSQ B. QRPS C. RQPS D. SRQP

[amp_mcq option1=”PRSQ” option2=”QRPS” option3=”RQPS” option4=”SRQP” correct=”option1″]

The correct answer is: A. PRSQ

The first sentence, S1, states the purpose of government: to secure the rights of the people. The second sentence, P, explains that people are generally reluctant to change their government, even if it is not fulfilling its purpose. The third sentence, Q, cautions against making rash changes to government, but also acknowledges that it is sometimes necessary to do so. The fourth sentence, R, states that governments derive their power from the consent of the governed, and therefore can also be changed by them. The fifth sentence, S, reiterates the importance of protecting the rights of the people, and states that it is the duty of the people to overthrow a government that is not fulfilling its purpose. The sixth sentence, S6, provides an example of a time when the people of the United States had to overthrow their government in order to protect their rights.

The other options are incorrect because they do not follow the logical order of the sentences. Option B, QRPS, puts the second sentence first, which does not make sense because the second sentence is a consequence of the first sentence. Option C, RQPS, puts the third sentence first, which does not make sense because the third sentence is a qualification of the second sentence. Option D, SRQP, puts the fourth sentence first, which does not make sense because the fourth sentence is a restatement of the first sentence.
