On the Indonesian island of Bali, about 3/4 of the feral (stray) cats have a stumpy tail while only 1/4 of the cats have a regular long tail. When you did some experiments and picked out a bunch of random stumpy-tailed cats and mated them, they had some stumpy-tailed kittens and some regular-tailed kittens. You did the same with the the regular tailed cats, but they always had only regular tailed kittens. What does this tell you about the genotype of the regular tailed cats

That stumpy tail is the dominant trait, while the regular long tail is the recessive trait.

you did not attach the discourse, but i assume it to be the discourse on the origin and basis of inequality among men (the original titile in french is: "discours sur l'origine et les fondements de l'inégalité parmi les hommes"), also know as "second discourse". in this discourse, jean-jacques rousseau emphasizes that private property is the basis of all inequalities.

therefore, what enabled the old regime to maintain as long as it did was private property.
