What was John Locke's idea about government? a.) it should be split into three distinct branches
b.) it should give in to the will of the people
c.) it should control the economy of a nation
d.) it should have total power over the people

Thank you! :)

The answer is A: it should be split into three distinct branches. He claimed that with the checks and balances system, then the groups of government (later to be known as the executive, judicial, and legislative branches) will never let each other gain more power, reaching an equilibrium between the three of them.

I hope this helps!

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
