B.
people elected for that purpose
C.
the head of the government
D.
military leaders
Answer:B. people elected for that purpose
Explanation:
"Popular sovereignty" means the people are in charge of establishing a government over themselves.
The founding fathers of the United States adopted the idea of popular sovereignty from Enlightenment philosophers like John Locke (of England) and Jean-Jacques Rousseau (of France).
The Declaration of Independence (1776), written primarily by Thomas Jefferson, asserted the concept of popular sovereignty. The Declaration insisted that people institute governments in order to secure their rights, and that governments get their authority from the consent of the governed. "Whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends," the Declaration of Independence said, "it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
b. supreme command of Rome’s traders
c. control over Rome's laws
d. authority to abolish the Senate
Octavian, later known as Augustus, was given the powers of supreme command over Rome's armies and control over Rome's laws by the Senate. However, he didn't have the authority to command the traders or abolish the Senate.
In history, after the demise of Julius Caesar, Octavian, who later became known as Augustus, rose to power and received significant authority from the Senate.
The right answers to the question are 'a. supreme command of Rome’s armies' and 'c. control over Rome's laws'. The Senate provided Octavian with the supreme command of Rome’s armies and the ability to exert influence over Rome's laws.
Conversely, the Senate did not give Octavian the supreme command of Rome’s traders or the authority to abolish the Senate. These powers were integral to Octavian's transformation of Rome from a republic into an empire.
