Read the quotation from Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This latter consists of the different privileges, which some men enjoy to the prejudice of others; such as that of being more rich, more honored, more powerful or even in a position to exact obedience. In this passage, Rousseau refers to political inequality. Of the four inequalities listed here, which enabled the Old Regime to maintain power for as long as it did? ( Other options are not available)Answer : Position

more powerful

Explanation:

Even when ¨exact¨ is meant as demanding obedience, it is not an inequality because you need the comparative ¨more¨ to do so. Rousseau wrote in the 18th century, observing the feudal system in France, very much aware of the many inequalities that had produced it. Power, as Eric Wolf explains in Envisioning Power, Ideologies of Dominance and Crisis is the most important inequality, as it leads to other inequalities; the feudal system was exactly this: very powerful because of control of the whole society.

- a government ruled by the people, or assembly. officials monarchy - a single ruler like a king. over time some city-states, like athens would change governments. what this means is that all the citizens voted on all the laws.
