Answer:
The historical development which illustrates the fulfillment of Winthrop's argument is:
(A) Polk negotiated a compromise with the British over Oregon.
Explanation:
Between 1859 and 1872, Great Britain and the US fought a bitter war for the control of Oregon. This war was caused by a stray pig; no wonder, the US termed it: "the Pig War." Earlier John Winthrop had argued that the United States, the New England, was to become "a city on a hill," very conspicuous to all men. Possession of the new land signaled an alliance with the word of God. Failure to uphold the human part of the covenant would expose the country to ridicule. President Polk, fighting the Pig War with Great Britain over Oregon without victory, was a sign of failure to uphold the covenant. The country was exposed to public ridicule because the war only ended with the signing of a treaty (a form of compromise), which ceded the whole of Vancouver to Britain and then Oregon to the US.
Answer:
The correct answer is C, <em>The government has the final authority to regulate the functions of all social institutions</em>.
Explanation:
The government does not have such authority.
The government has a series of duties and limitations on its power so it doesn't stand in the way of people's liberties. Had the government authority on every social institution, it would be a totalitarian government.
The government's authority is limited because democracy demands so. In a democracy all power comes from the people and the government must work accordingly.

Explanation:
Adam Smith's landmark work on <em>The Wealth of Nations </em>(1776) argued against government control of commerce and advocated for competition between business as a self-regulating sort of force.
Friedrich von Hayek's 1944 book <em>The Road to Serfdom </em>was an influential work of classical liberalisn in economics (what today we'd more likely call libertarianism).
Milton Friedmen was skeptical about the value of the Federal Reserve controlling the money supply.<em> Capitalism and Freedom </em>is a collection of his influential essays, published in 1962.
John Maynard Keynes proposed that increasing government expenditures and lowering taxes would stimulate demand and pull the economy out of a state of depression. His approach was adopted by President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal program, which sought to bring the United States out of the Great Depression.
