Answer 1

The correct answer is B) Men and slaves are equals because they both belong to nature.

The Greek belief that was also held by Marcus Aurelius was "Men and slaves are equals because they both belong to nature."

Marcus Aurelius (121-180) was a Roman Emperor that focused on the security of the Empire against invaders and developed intellectual ideas he wanted to be spread throughout the empire. He became Emperor in 161 when his adoptive father died. He governed with his brother Lucious Aurelius. Marcus Aurelius had a contemplative nature that allowed him to use reason and logic.

Answer 2

It’s actually Men and slaves are equals because they both belong to nature. At least that’s what the test told me since I followed what the other person said and it marked me wrong.
