entitled to key rights
o undeserving of being taxed by their government
o the best choice to create legislation for the union
on all matters

not qualified to legislate on some matters, but entitled to key rights

Explanation:

Hi! Your question is lacking its passage, so I went online to find it.

Complete question:

I like the power given the Legislature to levy taxes, and for that reason solely I approve of the greater house being chosen by the people directly. For though I think a house so chosen will be very illy [badly] qualified to legislate for the Union, for foreign nations, etc., yet this evil does not weigh against the good of preserving the fundamental principle that the people are not to be taxed but by representatives chosen by themselves.

Which of the following summarizes Jefferson's views of "the people" in this passage?

-entirely incapable of legislating for the Union

-not qualified to legislate on some matters, but entitled to key rights

-undeserving of being taxed by their government

-the best choice to create legislation for the Union on all matters

The correct answer is: not qualified to legislate on some matters, but entitled to key rights .

Explanation:

In this passage, we can read and understand Jefferson's views of the people. Jefferson talks mainly of taxes and the importance of who are the ones that decide on that matter. Since taxing is something that the citizens must take part in, Jefferson believes that they are the ones that should directly choose their representatives of the Greater House. This, however, won't give people the power to decide on matters regarding the Union and foreign relationships. This power to decide over their key rights but not over other issues and topics is what Jefferson thinks it's right for the people.
