Answer:

Correct answers:

  • A. He called himself the Sun King because he considered himself as important as the sun itself.
  • C. During his 72-year reign, he claimed the idea of the divine right of kings.

Details/context:

Louis XIV is a hugely important historical figure.  He was on the throne as king in France from childhood to his old age; he ruled from 1643 to 1715. He was known as the Sun King because all activity in France basically revolved around him.  So much so was that the case, that members of the nobility competed with each other for the right to help the king get dressed in the morning!  It was one of Louis XIV's goals to keep the ranking nobles from being a threat to his power, so he lured them to come live at the glorious Versailles palace with him. That way he could keep them under his influence and away from their lands in the provinces.  They were lavishly entertained, but lost the real power they would have had as lords governing in their provincial lands.

As to the "divine right of kings" idea, that belief was summed up succinctly by Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, who was court preacher at the royal court of Louis XIV.  Bossuet said that monarchy "is sacred, it is paternal, it is absolute … the royal throne is not that of a man but the throne of God himself."  The claim of kings' divine right meant their authority could not be challenged because they were put in their office by God and were to be respected as God's sovereign representatives.

All enslaved people were considered property, and all of them performed a wide variety of jobs. Thus, options A and C are correct.

What is enslaved?

Enslaving somebody entails making them perform labor without compensation, follow orders, and forfeit their independence. The word slave is used for the person's essential identification as a possession instead of as a people.

The people who are enslaved were treated as someone else's property which means that whatever they did was according to the commander the other person also there was not a single job that day too but dated multiple of cleaning, washing, driving, etc.

Answers

It allowed Columbus to become a thriving cotton-marketing center with unobstructed river travel to the Gulf of Mexico.


The Appalachian Trail passes the river's uppermost headwaters. From its source in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Chattahoochee River runs southwesterly to Atlanta and through its neighborhoods. It ultimately turns due-south to form the southern half of the Georgia/Alabama state line. The Chattahoochee River begins in the southeast corner of Union County, Georgia, in the southern Appalachian Mountains and flows southwesterly through the Atlanta metropolitan area before stopping in Lake Seminole, at the Georgia-Florida border. The river runs for a total interval of about 434 miles.
