The correct answer is A.

Stephen A. Douglas (1813-1861) was an American politician and member of the House of Representatives. He became candidate for presidency in the election of 1860, compiting against Lincoln. He was known as the 'Little Giant' due to his short height but his dominant position in politics.

He believed in the principle of popular sovereignty, that the majority of citizens should decide on contendous matters such as the slavery issue. Otherwise, if the federal government enforces anti slave regulations, the detractor states and their people would issue unfriendly laws locally to ensure that discrimination continues. This is known as the Freeport Doctrine.

He also had mentioned explicitly his viewpoint about the Declaration of Independence, as a document not written for non-whites.

How do you think the court's brown ruling was received in the south

hichkok12 [17]

The ruling was not received well in the south, and some of those vestiges still remain to this day. The end of segregated schooling, which had to be rectified "with all deliberate speed," took quite a while to occur. Even today, there are schools that, while they might not be segregated on a "de jure" basis, are still "de facto" separated based on racial characteristics.

Charra [1.4K]

B - the Church rejected them as heresy.

The works of Greek thinkers were not in line with the dogma of the Church. For that reason they rejected what the Greek thinkers of their time did and called every work which they did heresy not to be read.
