The correct answer is B) Demands for representative government increased, while tolerance for tyranny decreased.

The statement that best summarizes the political changes that led from the earliest codes of law to the development of modern democracy is "Demands for representative government increased, while tolerance for tyranny decreased."

After the influence of the ideas of many thinkers and philosophers of the Enlightenment regarding people´s liberties and the structure of a democratic government, people started to demand better democratic governments that guaranteed the free participation of people in politics without any negative consequence, like in the past. At the same time, people with democratic ideals expressed even less tolerance to tyranny for considering the opposite of what democratic governments were looking for. The ideas of Montesquiou, Locke, or Jean-Jacob Rosseau, were precursors of the changes to come.
