Correct choices:
- the ideas of equality and liberty
- the idea of basic laws that govern human behavior
Why: Judeo‑Christian teaching (e.g., humans created in God's image, the Ten Commandments and prophetic/moral tradition) helped shape beliefs in human dignity, rights, and moral/legal rules governing conduct. Ideas like separation of powers, checks and balances, and direct democracy come more from classical/Enlightenment and Greek/Roman political thought.
