A. religious messages carved in oracle bones
Explanation:
I have read about the Shang dynasty in school, so how they developed writing is in my notebook. When fortune tellers became a thing, they wrote a fortune on a bone and threw the bones into a fire. The fortune teller would read the cracks on the bone. They used that writing for documents on paper.
Alexander the Great is important because by the age of thirty he had created one of the largest empires in ancient history. He was the ancient ruler of Macedonia, what is now north eastern Greece and as ruler he conquered most of the civilized world, from Greece to Egypt, Persia and India. He is known as one of the greatest commanders of all time and was undefeated in battle.
After thousands of years of civilization, people realized that the notion of social classes was wrong. The reign of incompetent rulers now and then demonstrated that people in the lower and upper classes could behave pretty much the same. Also, the nobility, supposed to hold the responsibility of political power in exchange of protecting the commoners was nearly always neglected as to justify the nobles' privileges and superior social position. The short-lived Athenian democracy revolved in the minds of countless people throughout the years and inspired the modern democracies of today via the works of the Enlightenment free-thinkers who rejected the traditional hierarchical differences between individuals and advocated for a government of citizens that would serve society, not themselves. As the dissatisfaction of the colonists of the Thirteen British Colonies in America with the despotic impositions of the British government grew, a clear idea of a government serving the will of the people emerged, and that thought was best expressed by Lincoln's statement honoring the sacrifice of the Union soldiers at the Battle of Gettysburg: "A government of the people,for the people, and by the people."
In summary, popular sovereignty consists of a government supported by a Constitution and institutions listening to the needs and concerns of the people in order to act in consequence, this is, real democracy in action.
