Explanation

The Democratic Peace theory, which suggests that democracies seldom engage in armed conflict with one another, originates from Immanuel Kant's 1795 work "Perpetual Peace." In this work, Kant argued that republican governments and international collaboration could foster enduring peace. Karl Marx concentrated on class conflict, while Paul Kennedy is recognized for his analysis of the decline of great powers, not democratic peace. Therefore, "None of the above" is not the correct answer.
