Answer:

A) he believed governments created unequal societies

Explanation:

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a French-speaking Swiss polymath. He was at the same time a writer, pedagogue, philosopher, musician, botanist and naturalist, and although defined as an enlightened one, he presented deep contradictions that separated him from the main representatives of the Enlightenment, winning for example Voltaire's fierce spite and being considered one of the first writers of pre-Romanticism.

His ideas printed a Copernican turn to pedagogy focusing on the natural evolution of the child and on direct and practical matters, and his political ideas influenced to a large extent the French Revolution and the development of republican theories, although it is also considered one of the precursors of totalitarianism; It incorporated to the political philosophy incipient concepts like the one of general will (that Kant would transform in its categorical imperative) and alienation. His legacy of radical and revolutionary thinker is probably best expressed in his two most famous sentences, one contained in The Social Contract, "Man is born free, but everywhere is chained," the other, present in his Emile, or education, "Man is good by nature."

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Popular sovereignty was seen on the issue of slavery as a political middle ground. Popular sovereignty is the principle that people should rule,  and as such the status of slavery  should be determined by the votes of local settlers and not congress.

During the Mexican War, when slavery became a political problem, Douglas faced a challenge. Fearing that the issue would interfere with the Constitution, he argued for the doctrine of popular sovereignty — the right of the people of a state or territory to determine for themselves the question of slavery — as a solution for the sake of the Union. He led the congressional struggle for the 18th compromise.

Can the government take private property from an individual?
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
The Taking of Property for Public Use. Eminent domain is the power of government to take private land for public use. This power is limited by the federal Constitution and by state constitutions -- when the government does take private property for public use, it must fairly compensate the owner for the deprivation. So no they can unless they have the owners permission :)
