Answer:
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
The theory of popular sovereignty is a political idea that holds that <u>the power and authority of a state and its government emanate from the people, who is the ultimate source of all political power</u>.
The theory of popular sovereignty can be traced back to the idea of the social contract as advanced by influential thinkers such as Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. They argued that the state existed as a result of a social contract established between the people and the state, where the people would give authority to the state to rule in exchange for order and protection. This meant that while the state and its government administrate society, ultimately its power comes from the people, who is the true sovereign.
It does not apply to executive orders.
It only applies to the choice of people for certain offices, such as ambassadors and federal judges: the Senate can advice the president in this choice and needs to consent to the president's decision.
Rise
The rise of Islam in Africa and Asia was a consequences of years of military and political strategies as well as missionary work. After the Arab peninsula was united under one leadership of the prophet of Islam, there was enough stability and funding to expand abroad.
Islam grew out of a region that is correctly identified as the Middle East, completely in between both Africa and vast Asia.
The natural expansion of the religion took place in Palestine and to the east in, Syria and Persia up til modern-day Pakistan.
On the west, the expansion was naturally in Egypt and North Africa.
Fall
While Islam never 'Fell' out of Africa, there was a marked decline in Islamic Empires. This was mostly due to European powers who were scrambling for Africa. This saw the English, French, Belgians all conquer large parts of the land and use them for slaves and other trades.
Thesis
A thesis sets forth a proposition that then must be defended. The thesis may state something about the cause or causes of a particular historical event, or about effects or ramifications of historical events. Or it may be about motivating factors within a historical figure -- why someone acted the way they acted in their role in history. A thesis is not simply a statement of a fact that everyone agrees on. A thesis is an <u>arguable</u> claim, and the defense with evidence given for a thesis will want to address counter-claims (any counter-thesis) that someone else might argue.
