Constantine II was known for his belief in which rights?
Freedom of Speech
Animal Rights
Primogeniture
Slavery Abolition
Answer
Primogeniture is the right of the eldest son to inherit his father's property. Constantine II, who ruled the Byzantine Empire from 641 to 668, was a strong believer in this right. He fought against his brother, Heraclius II, for the throne, and eventually succeeded in taking it. Constantine II's belief in primogeniture helped to stabilize the Byzantine Empire and ensure that it continued to be ruled by a single family.
