(1) In his lifetime Dr. Pаrkmаn wаs a well-knоwn figure in the streets оf Bоston. His peculiar personal appearance and eccentric habits combined to make him something of a character. As he walked through the streets he presented a remarkable appearance. He was exceptionally tall, longer in the body than the legs; his lower jaw protruded some half an inch beyond the upper; he carried his body bent forward from the small of his back. He seemed to be always in a hurry; so impetuous was he that, if his horse did not travel fast enough to please him, he would get off its back, and, leaving the steed in the middle of the street, hasten on his way on foot. A just and generous man, he was extremely punctilious in matters of business, and uncompromising in his resentment of any form of falsehood or deceit. It was the force of his resentment in such a case that cost him his life. (2) The doctor was unfailingly punctual in taking his meals. Dr. Kingsley, during the fourteen years he had acted as his agent, had always been able to make sure of finding him at home at his dinner hour, half-past two o'clock. But on Friday, November 23, 1849, to his surprise and that of his family, Dr. Parkman did not come home to dinner; and their anxiety was increased when the day passed, and there was still no sign of the doctor's return. Inquiries were made. From these it appeared that Dr. Parkman had been last seen alive between one and two o'clock on the Friday afternoon. About half-past one he had visited a grocer's shop in Bridge Street, made some purchases, and left behind him a paper bag containing a lettuce, which, he said, he would call for on his way home. Shortly before two o'clock he was seen by a workman, at a distance of forty or fifty feet from the Medical College, going in that direction. From that moment all certain trace of him was lost. Based on the information presented, what is the next paragraph likely about?

"Tо understаnd pоliticаl pоwer... we must consider whаt estate all men are naturally in, and that it is a state of perfect freedom to order their actions and dispose of their possessions...within the bounds of the law of nature, without asking leave, or depending upon the will of any other man.... Whosoever therefore out of a state of nature unite into a community must be understood to give up all the power necessary to the ends for which they unite into society, to the majority of the community... And this is done by barely agreeing to unite into one political society.... And thus that which begins and actually constitutes any political society is nothing but the consent of any number of freemen capable of a majority to unite.... And this is that ... which did or could give beginning to any lawful government in the world". -- John Locke, Second Treatise of Government, 1690 Which of the following groups in the English colonies represented ideas most directly opposed to those expressed in the excerpt?
“Slаvery, thоugh impоsed аnd mаintained by viоlence, was a negotiated relationship.... First, even as they confronted one another, master and slave had to concede, however grudgingly, a degree of legitimacy to the other.... [T]he web of interconnections between master and slave necessitated a coexistence that fostered cooperation as well as contestation. Second, because the circumstances of such contestation and cooperation continually changed, slavery itself continually changed. . . . Slavery was never made, but instead was continually remade, for power—no matter how great—was never absolute, but always contingent.” -- Ira Berlin, historian, Many Thousands Gone: The First Two Centuries of Slavery in North America, 1998
