A Locke
B Hobbes

that governmental power can come only from the consent of the governed—a key idea in the colonists'
assertion of independence.
Question 2
Signed in 1763, the Treaty of Paris ended which of the following wars?
A The American War for Independence
B Pontiac’s War
C The French and Indian War
D The French Civil War
Answer
Answer C is correct. With this treaty, Britain gained control of vast amounts of the North American
continent, which Britain won by defeating the French. This particular Treaty of Paris should not be
confused with the Treaty of Paris that ended the American Revolutionary War in 1781.
The British Defeated
After many pitched battles throughout the colonies, the British finally surrendered in Yorktown in 1781.
General Lord Cornwallis’s troops were confined to the Yorktown peninsula as French ships blocked his
supply lines. He was forced to surrender on October 19, 1781.
