a. a French aristocrat
b. a bishop who was not a member of the royal court

Answer: c. a member of the British Parliament

This quotation argues that the power of absolute monarchs is invested in them by God. Therefore, they have the "divine right" to rule.

The most likely individual to disagree with this statement would be a member of the British Parliament. If kings were indeed like God himself, there would be no need to control or restrict their operations. However, this is the fuction of Parliament. Moreover, Parliament is the way in which common people are represented in government, which would be discouraged if the King had been appointed by divine right.

On the other hand, French aristocrats, bishops, and absolute monarchs are more likely to believe in this position as they benefit from both the monarchy and the interconnection between politics and religion.

John Dryden's critical essays foreshadow the satire of which eighteenth-century writer?
OLEGan [10]

The correct answer is C. John Dryden's critical essays foreshadow the satire of Samuel Johnson.

Dryden's influence as a poet was immense in his own time, and the profound loss that it represented for English literature is evident in the elegies that inspired his deat. His poetry, patriotic, religious and satirical, popularized a type of Hendecasyllable verse that will be the favorite of the eighteenth century, as it was taken as a model by poets such as Alexander Pope and Samuel Johnson

In which region of the country did the northern forces have the most success
aleksandrvk [35]
The following is from Yahoo Answers: <span> the Civil War was a civil war in the United States of America. 11 Southern slave states declared their secession from the U.S. and formed the Confederate States of America. led by Jefferson Davis, they fought against the U.S. federal government (the "Union"), which was supported by all the free states and the five border slave states in the north.

in the presidential election of 1860, the Republican Party, led by Abraham Lincoln, had campaigned against the expansion of slavery beyond the states in which it already existed. the Republican victory in that election resulted in seven Southern states declaring their secession from the Union even before Lincoln took office on March 4, 1861. both the outgoing and incoming U.S. administrations rejected secession, regarding it as rebellion.

hostilities began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces attacked a U.S. military installation at Fort Sumter in South Carolina. Lincoln responded by calling for a volunteer army from each state, leading to declarations of secession by four more Southern slave states. both sides raised armies as the Union assumed control of the border states early in the war and established a naval blockade. in September 1862, Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation made ending slavery in the South a war goal, and dissuaded the British from intervening. Confederate commander Robert E. Lee won battles in the east, but in 1863 his northward advance was turned back at Gettysburg and, in the west, the Union gained control of the Mississippi River at the Battle of Vicksburg, thereby splitting the Confederacy. long-term Union advantages in men and material were realized in 1864 when Ulysses Grant fought battles of attrition against Lee, while Union general William Sherman captured Atlanta, Georgia, and marched to the sea. Confederate resistance collapsed after Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865.

the Civil War was the deadliest war in U.S. history, causing 620,000 soldier deaths, and an undetermined number of civilian casualties, ending slavery in the United States, restoring the Union, and strengthening the role of the federal government. the social, political, economic and racial issues of the war decisively shaped the reconstruction era that lasted to 1877, and brought changes that helped make the country a united superpower. </span>
