The correct answer is D.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) was one of the main phisolophers of the Enlightment ideas which spread in Europe and triggered upraisings against absolut monarchies and the old feudal regimes. The most famous of them all was, of course, the French Revolution in 1789.

In his book, <em>The Social Contract, h</em>e appointed the importance of developing governments whose powers were granted from the will of their subjects, from all the citizens under its ruling, through suffrage. These ideas were clearly in opposition with the absolut monarchies that ruled most European countries at those times. Kings had all the power on their hands and had received it from God. This latter idea sharply contrast with the Enlighment phisolophy, opposite to dogmas and superstitions and that was claiming for the devopment of  <em>reason</em> and of the scientific method.

This is why Rosseau would claim for a different type of government in Mordor, without an authoritarian king and that, in turn, citizens should be given a say.

Which weakness of the articles of confederation did the delegates to the constitutional convention want to address?
astra-53 [7]

The delegates to the constitutional convention converged in Philadelphia to address the weakness of the articles of confederation which gives more power to the state at the expense of the Federal government. Therefore, the correct answer is D

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

The federal government was weak under the articles of the federation, although the articles of confederation only provided for the continental congress at the federal level with the power to make laws but lacked the power to enforce the laws. The federal was so weak to the extent that a state can decide to ignore federal laws if it so desires.  

Under the articles of confederation, the federal government lacked the power to collect or regulate tax; there was no executive or the judiciary branch, so it became so difficult for the federal government to function effectively.  

All these weaknesses strangulates the federal government and a constitutional convention was held to addresses the problems of the articles of confederation.

At the constitutional convention, a new constitution was drafted and grants more powers to the federal government. The New constitution allows checks and balances by dividing the federal government into three branches which include Executive, legislative and judiciary.

The newly drafted constitution was ratified in 1789 and replaced the articles of confederation.
