Cacti are plants that live in extremely dry environments. Unlike most other plants, cacti do not have regular leaves, but instead, have spines. They do have green stems. How would the lack of regular leaves help cacti survive in their environment?

you did not attach the discourse, but i assume it to be the discourse on the origin and basis of inequality among men (the original titile in french is: "discours sur l'origine et les fondements de l'inégalité parmi les hommes"), also know as "second discourse". in this discourse, jean-jacques rousseau emphasizes that private property is the basis of all inequalities.

therefore, what enabled the old regime to maintain as long as it did was private property.

i believe it is "they are not used up by reactions" as the answer to your question, text me back if this is correct because i just learned this.
