In which of piaget's stages of cognitive development do children develop symbolic functioning, the ability to use symbols to represent what is not present?

Pre-operational Stage

Explanation:

The pre-operative phase is the second phase in the cognitive  development theory of Piaget.  This phase starts around 2 years of age when kids begin talking and lasts  until about 7 years of age.

Children start engaging in symbolic play during this phase and learn to control symbols.  Piaget observed, however, that concrete logic is not yet understood.

it is a part of john locke's natural rights popular during the age of enlightenment that people had inalienable rights to life, liberty and property. this was reflected by thomas jefferson in his declaration of independence as rights to life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

another line in the declaration of independence is that people have certain rights just because they are human. humans are capable of obeying the three natural rights john locke mentioned making them governable by these laws and therefore entitled to these rights as well.
