Thank you We sneak and here's your shmoop du jour

00:05

Brought to you by in alien nable rights No matter

00:08

how hard the ufo's try to abduct them they never

00:11

will Check out the excerpt on drama You got momentum

00:14

in okay And now for our question the argument in

00:17

the excerpt directly reflects a continuation of which of the

00:20

following enlightenment beliefs and here potential answers I believe that

00:26

basically pains telling us here that the english constitution sucks

00:30

because it comes from a time when everybody thought tyranny

00:33

was the cat's pajamas So bad news for a tyrant

00:36

and for the cat since pain is so obviously anti

00:39

tyrant will start by taking c out of the running

00:42

Absolute sovereignty means that a ruler can make anybody do

00:46

anything here she wants Like if the king or queen

00:48

wanted everybody to bathe and fish they'd have to do

01:27

the excerpt about It Looks like pain won't be pumping

anything up anytime soon so we can say farewell Didi

01:35

answer be on the other hand is here to stay
