The correct answer is B) cowardly.

The word pusillanimous most likely means cowardly.

When Thomas Jefferson expressed: "The pusillanimous idea that we had friends in England worth keeping terms with, still haunted the minds of many," he tried to say that the coward idea of thinking that they had friends was out of his mind.

Thomas Jefferson helped elaborate the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain, during the Revolutionary War years. He received the help of the Committee formed by Robert Livingstone, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and John Adams. Jefferson was inspire3d bye the Virginia Declaration of Rights, written by George Mason.

Which king is accurately described by these statements?
DaniilM [7]

All these statements describe King Louis XIV of France.

  • <em>He called himself the Sun King because he considered himself as important as the sun itself.</em> Louis XIV is known to have had a very high opinion of himself. This is why he chose the sun as his symbol. Le Roi Soleil (the Sun King) was a way to present himself as a ruler who knew and saw everything (like the sun) and could not fail. He also felt a strong connection to the Greek Sun God, Apollo.
  • <em>During his seventy-two year reign he claimed the divine rights of kings.</em> 72 years is the longest time any monarch has ruled over a European kingdom in history. Louis XIV believed he was the representative of God on earth, and therefore decided that the absolute powers of kingship were a sacred, god-given right.
  • <em>He moved his court from Paris to Versailles, where he and his courtiers lived in splendor and excess.</em> Louis XIV frequently changed residences, but in 1682 he settled with his court in the Palace of Versailles, making it a symbol of French riches and prestige.
  • <em>He did little or nothing to help the working people with everyday struggles. </em>Many of his subjects thought that Louis XIV put his personal interests before the country's. During the War of Spanish Succession for example (1701-14), he kept France at war to make sure his grandson, Philip V, would gain control over the Spanish Empire, while the cost of war caused famine among the people.
