What is one major topic of this excerpt from the
document?
To renounce liberty is to renounce being a man, to
surrender the rights of humanity and even its duties. For
him who renounces everything no indemnity is possible.
Such a renunciation is incompatible with man's nature;
to remove all liberty from his will is to remove all
morality from his acts. Finally, it is an empty and
contradictory convention that sets up, on the one side,
absolute authority, and, on the other, unlimited
obedience.
- The Social Contract,
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
the value of nature
the importance of equality
the freedom of individuals
the need for sacrifice

Which two elements does this excerpt from a christmas carol by charles dickens contain? "a small matter," said the ghost, “to make these silly folks so full of gratitude." "small! " echoed scrooge. the spirit signed to him to listen to the two apprentices, who were pouring out their hearts in praise of fezziwig: and when he had done so, said, "why! is it not? he has spent but a few pounds of your mortal money: three or four perhaps. is that so much that he deserves this praise? " "it isn’t that," said scrooge, heated by the remark, and speaking unconsciously like his former, not his latter, self. "it isn't that, spirit. he has the power to render us happy or unhappy; to make our service light or burdensome; a pleasure or a toil. say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count ’em up: what then? the happiness he gives, is quite as great as if it cost a fortune." he felt the spirit's glance, and stopped. "what is the matter? " asked the ghost. "nothing particular," said scrooge. "something, i think? " the ghost insisted. "no," said scrooge, "no. i should like to be able to say a word or two to my clerk just now. that's all."
