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

00:51

it for else But we probably do that just for

00:53

the halibut Anyway As the excerpt shows pain thought this

00:57

kind of system was the opposite of cool Next will

00:59

eliminate option a The belief in constitutionalism Yeah not quite

01:03

what we're looking for Pain uses this excerpt toe bad

01:06

Mouth a constitution so it's kind of hard to argue

01:10

that this snippet is supporting the idea of constitutionalism Not

01:14

that pain was against constitutions in general he just thought

01:17

ones that propped up tyrants oughta be scrapped Well d

01:20

says that pains using the excerpt toe pump up state's

01:23

rights well while it's probably true that pain would have

01:25

been a fan of the idea there is nothing in

01:27

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

01:31

anything up anytime soon so we can say farewell Didi

01:35

answer be on the other hand is here to stay

01:37

The enlightenment idea of transnational human rights had been spreading

01:41

for sometime throughout the colonies when thomas paine anonymously published

01:44

the game changing pamphlet Common sense The fact that the

01:47

extract is so critical of tyranny reflects that idea that

01:51

all individuals are born with certain rights that no tyrant

01:55

should be ableto take We once tried to convince the

01:57

city that we were born with the right to park

01:59

anywhere but no that didn't go over very well We're 00:02:03.48 --> [endTime] still trying
