PLZ HELP!! To renounce one’s liberty is to renounce one’s quality as a man, the rights and also the duties of humanity. For him

who renounces everything there is no possible compensation. Such a renunciation is incompatible with man’s nature, for to take away all freedom from his will is to take away all morality from his actions. In short, a convention which stipulates absolute authority on the one side and unlimited obedience on the other is vain and contradictory. Is it not clear that we are under no obligations whatsoever towards a man from whom we have a right to demand everything? And does not this single condition, without equivalent, without exchange, involve the nullity of the act? For what right would my slave have against me, since all that he has belongs to me? His rights being mine, this right of me against myself is a meaningless phrase.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, “The Social Contract,” 1762

Lilit [14]

Over the course of 19th century they were both united, this is called the Unification of Italy and the Unification of Germany

To try to increase trade profits in China, the British Group of answer choices seized Taiwan as their first Chinese "colony" in
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Shipped large amounts of opium into China at a massive profit.

Explanation:

During the 18th and 19th centuries, Western countries (particularly Great Britain) exported opium grown in India and sold it to China. This was done in order to increase British profits. The profits were then used to purchase Chinese luxury goods such as porcelain, silk and tea. This trade led to the rise of opium addiction in China, becoming an enormous problem in the country. The efforts of the Qing dynasty to enforce opium restrictions resulted in what is known as the Opium Wars, both of which China lost.
