“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.

ANSWER PLEASE
denis23 [38]

Answer:

The Civil War was a war between states. It lasted four years (1861-1865). The Civil War was fought in Southern Pennsylvania, but most of it took place in Virginia and Tennessee. Of course the Civil War wasn't easy. Soldiers had to deal with bad weather, hunger, and let's not forget to mention that a lot of them died in this war. One of the main reasons the Civil War happened was the issue with slavery. The Southern states wanted to get rid of any laws that would ruin the South being able to keep slaves and take them where ever they wanted. South wanted to take slavery over to the Western territories, but North wanted to stay free of slaves and continue on with white labor. So when Abraham Lincoln was elected without not one single vote from the Southern electoral vote, this made them feel left out of the political system, which turned into the Civil War. Though many people lost their lives, the United States ended up beating the Confederate States. Which led to the freedom of millions of enslaved Americans. During the Civil War women had a huge role on and off the battlefield. Women helped the soldiers, they provided medical care and some women even were brave enough to work as spies, and even bigger surprise some women were even soldiers helping fight in the Civil War. The Civil War was a BIG thing to happen in today's history, knowing that so many people put their lives on the line to make sure that all people were free and treated the same. It makes you wonder, what if these brave men AND women never stepped up and decided it was time for a change? What would life be like today?
