Liberal ideals, expressed in politics, had a strong impact in the creation of new social experiences that materialized in the creation of new republics worldwide. Accordingly, the states mainly sought to defend: I) The rescue of the foundations of popular sovereignty. II) The separation of the powers of the state in the Republic. III) The existence of a marked society of privileges. A) I only B) II only C) I and II D) II and III E) I, II and III

A (I only) The rescue of the foundations of popular sovereignty

Explanation:

The liberal ideals that marked new republics focused on the rights people have in republics, which governments should protect in the best way they could. This is clearly shown in the U.S. Declaration of Independence and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. In some way these ideals come from the Enlightenment that questioned the Divine right of monarchs and claimed that the government´s purpose is to protect and to serve the people (=popular sovereignty), as in A.

II The separation of the powers of the state is a doctrine of (specific) American law that separates the executive, legislative and judicial power.

III A marked society of privileges is what the liberal ideals were trying to get rid of.

i would say that the politicial parties from state to state varies.
