NEED HELP ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! According to Mary Wollstonecraft, how did society and other writers, such as Jean Jacques R

ousseau, portray women in the 1700s?
Jean Jacques Rousseau (1750)
From our very first years a senseless education adorns our mind and corrupts our judgment. Everywhere I see huge establishments in which young people are brought up at great expense to learn everything except their duties. Your children will not know their own language, but they will speak others which are nowhere in use; they will be able to compose verses which they will hardly be able to understand; without being able to disentangle error from truth. . . but they will not know the meaning of the words magnanimity [generosity], equity, temperance, humanity, courage. . . . I would as soon, said a wise man, that my pupil had spent his time on the tennis court, at least his body would have been fitter for it. I know that children have to be kept busy, and that idleness is the danger most to be feared for them. What then should they learn? That is certainly a fine question! Let them learn what they ought to do when they are men, and not what they ought to forget


Mary Wollstonecraft (1792)
Men and women must be educated, in a great degree, by the opinions and manners of the society they live in. In every age there has been a stream of popular opinion that has carried all before it, and given a family character, as it were, to the century. It may then fairly be inferred, that, till society be differently constituted, much cannot be expected from education. . . . Consequently, the most perfect education, in my opinion is, such an exercise of the understanding as is best calculated to strengthen the body and form the heart. Or, in other words, to enable the individual to attain such habits of virtue as will render it independent. In fact, it is a farce to call any being virtuous whose virtues do not result from the exercise of its own reason. This was Rousseau’s opinion respecting men: I extend it to women. . . . I must declare, what I firmly believe, that all the writers who have written on the subject of female education and manners, from Rousseau to Dr. Gregory, have contributed to render women more artificial, weaker characters, than they would otherwise have been; and, consequently, more useless members of society.

According to Mary Wollstonecraft society and the writers like Rosseau can be the reason why  women were treated differently and had an education that made them weaker and artificial. She wanted woman to have a better education and she insisted women should strengthen the body and form the heart.

A 27 year old citizen could be elected to which
Alexxx [7]

Answer: A. House of Representatives

Explanation:

For a citizen to be voted into the House of Representatives, they need to have attained the age of 25 and above. A 27 year old citizen can therefore be voted in.

When it comes to the Senate however, that is a different case. Senators are to be at least 30 years of age to be voted in. This probably has to do with the fact that Senators are responsible for their state whereas Representatives are only responsible to their district.
