1. based on these passages, which action would most likely be supported by olympe de gouges?

(1) executing the king so that a queen could reign
(2) restricting access to education by gender
(3) ending the enslavement of africans
(4) allowing women to serve in the legislature

1. which statement is supported by both passages?

(1) a government’s authority comes from the people.
(2) all people should have equal incomes.
(3) natural laws lead to the oppression of some people.
(4) men and women naturally have equal rights.

Explanation:

For question 5: Olympe de Gouges' text argues women have equal rights to men, so she would support actions expanding women's political participation. Option 4 aligns with this, while the others contradict her equality stance.
For question 6: Both passages open with the core claim that all people (men in the first, women and men in the second) are born free and equal in rights. The other options are not supported by both texts.

Answer:

1. (4) allowing women to serve in the legislature
2. (4) Men and women naturally have equal rights.
