This would be matrilineal, where the line of the mother was the relevant line, and not of the father: in order to be a king, one needed to have the royal mother and the father was irrelevant. The dynasty would be traced by the female line in this case (even if the kings were the rulers).
Answer: The correct answer is A; <em>Women were tasked with educating the next generation, and thus needed to be educated themselves. </em>
Explanation:
The phrase or term Republican Motherhood was started in the 1980s. This idea was based on books written by John Locke. He has several ideas that were based on revolutionary ideas of republicanism.
Christians loved this idea because mothers would be able to pass down the family's religious views and values to generations.
Women were then opened many doors to education that they did not have before. This was so that they could educate their children about things that they learned. They also had more of a public role in women's rights, abolitionism, and had more chances of being teachers, etc.
In human genetics, the Mitochondrial Eve (also mt-Eve, mt-MRCA) is the matrilineal most recent common ancestor (MRCA) of all living humans, i.e., the most recent woman from whom all living humans descend in an unbroken line purely through their mothers and through the mothers of those mothers, back until all lines converge on one woman.
In terms of mitochondrial haplogroups, the mt-MRCA is situated at the divergence of macro-haplogroup L into L0 and L1–6. As of 2013, estimates on the age of this split ranged at around 150,000 years ago,[note 3] consistent with a date later than the speciation of Homo sapiens but earlier than the recent out-of-Africa dispersal.[4][1][5]
The male analog to the "Mitochondrial Eve" is the "Y-chromosomal Adam" (or Y-MRCA), the individual from whom all living humans are patrilineally descended. As the identity of both matrilineal and patrilineal MRCAs is dependent on genealogical history (pedigree collapse), they need not have lived at the same time. As of 2013, estimates for the age Y-MRCA are subject to substantial uncertainty, with a wide range of times from 180,000 to 580,000 years ago[6][7][8] (with an estimated age of between 120,000 and 156,000 years ago, roughly consistent with the estimate for mt-MRCA.).[2][9]
The name "Mitochondrial Eve" alludes to biblical Eve, which has led to repeated misrepresentations or misconceptions in journalistic accounts on the topic. Popular science presentations of the topic usually point out such possible misconceptions by emphasizing the fact that the position of mt-MRCA is neither fixed in time (as the position of mt-MRCA moves forward in time as mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) lineages become extinct), nor does it refer to a "first woman", nor the only living female of her time, nor the first member of a "new species".[note 4]
The correct answer would be A.
