Answer:

A. The Pacific plate is being subducted under the North American plate.

Explanation:

The distribution of volcanoes among the northwest all the way up to Alaska is due to the crashing of two tectonic plates. In the northwest, one of the pacific plates, specifically the oceanic Farallon Plate is being subdued or pushed under the North American Plate. When this happens, rocks beneath the surface melt and become magma, which raises to the surface to build volcanoes.

Answer:

A. All classes should have equal authority

Explanation:

The political activities of Pierre Joseph Proudhon (1809–1865) eventually landed him in a French prison, but Proudhon was not a man of violence. He called for the extension of democracy to all classes, to be accomplished through the elimination of property and government. Property was to be commonly held, and families living in extended communes were to replace centralized government. Proudhon’s philosophy would most appropriately classify him as an all class should have equal authority.

Proudhon was a French printer who proposed mutualism, he believes that all individual should have equal authority, claims and opportunity. Proudhon was also opposed to capitalism because he believes that its gives an individual undue advantage over others and saw the possession of private property as illegitimate when it gives a single individual excess power/advantage over others.
