Explanation:
Both the wealth of nations and the declaration of independence were written based on the concept of economic liberalism, which is an ideology based on the organization of the economy in individualistic lines, rejecting state interventionism, which means that as many economic decisions as possible are taken by companies and individuals and not by the state or by collective organizations. That is, through economic liberalism, both the wealth of nations and the declaration of independence share the view that it is best to leave individuals to their own devices without the government directing their actions.
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
unique and stable
Explanation:
Some traits are universal, e.g. shyness, or talkativeness. It depends on the person.
Stable patterns of behavior are observed by analyzing one's personality to have a general idea of how one will respond in future situations or events they find themselves needing coping skills, e.g. a talkative student may participate more in class whereas a shy one will sit quietly.
People are still unique in their behaviors and character, but may possess general traits that are generalized to most people.
