“After long periods of error, philosophers have at last discovered the true rights of man and how they can all be deduced from t

he single truth: that man is a perceptive being capable of reason and acquiring moral ideas.
At last, man could proclaim his rights out loud, rights that for so long had been ignored. He could submit all opinions to his own reason and use that reason to search for truth. Every man learned with pride that nature had not forever condemned him to base his beliefs on the opinions of others or the superstitions of antiquity.

Thus developed an understanding that the natural rights of man are inalienable and cannot be forfeited and a strongly expressed desire for freedom of thought, trade, and profession. There also developed a desire to alleviate people's suffering, to eliminate all criminal laws against political dissenters, and to abolish torture. A desire arose for a milder system of criminal legislation that could give complete security to the innocent. All of these principles gradually filtered down from philosophical works to every class of society whose education went beyond basic literacy. These principles became the common faith of all people.”

Marquis de Condorcet, French nobleman and philosopher, Sketch for a Historical Picture of the Progress of the Human Mind, published in 1794

Answer:

D. People have natural rights that can be established through rational inquiry.

Explanation:

The question above is related to "Marquis de Condorcet." He's a French philosopher who supports Enlightenment rationalism. He believes that people have the right to expand their knowledge. They can only do this through "rational inquiry" in order for them to <em>analyze their own beliefs and understandings. </em>

Besides this right, he was also an advocate regarding <u>women's rights </u>and the<u> equality of me</u>n regardless of race, gender, culture and religion.

So, this explains the answer.

Helmut is about to give a presentation to his class, but he's very nervous. He feels he might explode or pass out. When the members see Helmut in front of them, they are unlikely to be able to know how nervous he feels.

<h3 /><h3>How to make a good presentation</h3>

It is essential that the speaker is confident about what he will present to his audience, so it is ideal to carry out research on the topic, base his ideas on reliable sources and carry out his presentation in a safe way.

You can also use presentation support materials to generate more interaction, such as visual aids such as posters and slides to make the presentation more dynamic.

Nervousness during a presentation for many people is a common reaction, so the ideal is to consciously manage your anxiety, demonstrating to your audience your effort and knowledge about the topic.

What explanation does the demon's prisoner give the brothers for why she collects her lovers' rings?
Anni [7]

Answer:

The rings that she collects from her lovers is a simple proof to show that women can do whatever they want and attain whatever they desire.

Explanation:

In "The Arabian Nights", the two brothers had just experienced that their respective wives had cheated on them. Shahrayar's wife had slept with the cook while Shahzaman's wife had slept with a slave. So, they both secretly went to the desert to look for a man whose life is more wretched than theirs.

But their encounter with the genie/ demon shows that their lives are not that wretched as they thought. The genie had a beautiful as a wife, but enclosed in a glass box. Whenever he sleeps, she comes out and sleep with other men, 96 in all. She also sleeps with the two men making the count to 98 for she keeps the rings of her victims/ conquests. She declares "<em>to think that jealousy and restraint can preserve a  mistress, notwithstanding thy vigilance</em>." This decision to collect the rings of the men (most probably as trophies) is proof to show that women can do whatever they want and are capable of achieving whatever they desire.
