Use the excerpt and your knowledge of social studies to answer the following question.
Among the notable books of later times­we may say, without exaggeration, of all time—
must be reckoned The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau. It deals with leading personages
and transactions of a momentous epoch, when absolutism and feudalism were rallying for their
last struggle against the modern spirit, chiefly represented by Voltaire, the Encyclopedists, and
Rousseau himself—a struggle to which, after many fierce intestine quarrels and sanguinary wars
throughout Europe and America, has succeeded the prevalence of those more tolerant and
rational principles by which the statesmen of our own day are actuated.
—S.W. Orson, Introduction to The Confessions of Jean Jacques Rousseau, 1896 edition
The point of view of the author to the introduction is that —
A absolutism and feudalism should be supported strongly by the modern thinkers of the time
B
Voltaire, the Encyclopedists, and Rousseau caused wars throughout Europe and America
C
more tolerant and rational principles were a part of the movement before the wars in Europe
and America
D Rousseau and others were responsible for bringing about better forms of government to
nations of Europe and America
