The Merriam Webster dictionary defines repose as “<em>a state of resting after exertion or strain.</em>” In that order of ideas in this statement by <em>Emerson </em>the proper meaning according to the context is A. <em>stillness</em><em> </em>meaning that power comes to an end when lack of activity takes place. Option <em>B. </em><em>relaxation </em>is not appropriate, it is not a synonym of repose and does not fit into the context. Option C. <em>Meeknes </em>is not appropriate because it would change the intention of Emerson´s “<em>Power ceases in the instant of meekness (obedience)</em>.” Option D. <em>Conformity </em>also changes the intention, conformity as correspondence in form or in accordance with something.
The correct answer is B beacuase the meaning of Repose is trying to mean relaxation, plus you get to know they in the quote "power ceases" it means trying to be at peace or relaxing
B: Plessy v. Ferguson because at that time they belived in seperate but equal..which was not the case it was really unfair. So brought to the matter they sorted it out in the supreme court.
