enlightenment followers?

b.

c.

d.
people can govern themselves in a republic

Explanation:

Two examples of Enlightenment views in support of people's ability to govern themselves would be the thinking of John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

According to Locke's view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed. He argued for a representative form of government in which legislators were put in place by having the majority of people supporting them.  Then the leaders would need to govern in such a way that the people's rights to life, liberty, and property were protected.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), in his landmark book, The Social Contract, strongly championed the sovereignty of the people (rather than thinking of kings as the "sovereign" ones). Rousseau contended that the "general will" of the people is always right -- in the sense that the people will, collectively, make decisions that are good for them as a society.

explanation:

the industrial development of cities in the ruhr area in the nineteenth century is described. the research was based on english and german language sources. several factors that shaped growth and paths of the cities were categorized and analyzed. they are locations, resources, traditions, entrepreneurs, and technological developments. locations and resources were the most important among them; other factors may be regarded as consequences from locations and resources. among the cities, bochum, essen, gelsenkirchen, and dortmund had the richest resources and most favorable locations in the transportation network and grew to be the largest cities in the ruhr area near the end of the nineteenth century. riverside location was also a favorable factor for the development, as shown in the development of duisburg on the confluence of rhine and ruhr. resource distribution can explain the rise of textile industry, metallurgical industry, and coal and iron industries, and the northward progression of the mining industry. tradition was an important factor for cities such as krefeld, barmen, elberfeld, solingen, and remscheid, which experienced development based on their traditions through the nineteenth century. various entrepreneurs exerted influences within and beyond the local level over the ruhr area. technological development stimulated the northward progression of the mining industry and the deep connection between the coal and the iron industries.
