<h3>Enlightenment thinkers </h3>

Enlightenment thinkers are philosophers that questioned traditional authority and pressed on the notion that human reasoning could be improved through rationality. These thinkers added value to reason, science, religion and “natural rights” such as life, liberty, and property.

Who were the Enlightenment thinkers ?

Adam Smith.

Baron de Montesquieu.

Benjamin Franklin.

Jean Jacques Rousseau.

John Locke.

Mary Wollstonecraft.

Olympe de Gouge.

Thomas Hobbes

We are more concerned about;

John Locke debated that natural rights which include life, liberty, and property should never be denied an individual or surrendered by a person as it was given by nature.

Jean- Jacques Rousseau believed in introducing political and ethical thinking into new channels. He sharpened music, arts and trade.

Baron de Montesquieu proposed that the best form of government was one built on the delegation of power and kept in check to avoid one from becoming too powerful in the expense of the other.

Hence, the Enlightenment thinkers correctly matched is John Locke ( natural rights).

oee [108]

The colonial governments had impact on american politics and institutions, through the following facts:

The correct answer is: "the right to marital privacy".

Griswold v. Connecticut was a landmark decision by the US Supreme Court, issued in 1965, that has governed since then the access to contraception. The case was related to a law existing in Connecticut (Comstock law) that prohibited taking drugs to prevent conception. In opposition, the Supreme Court declared that the law was invalid because it violated the 'right to marital privacy' by which every person has the right to decide over his/her intimate practices.

In an experiment, you used a solvent to extract fat from hamburger meat. When you are finished in the experiment, then you should put the solvent and the fat into waste containers that are specific for the solvent used in the experiment. You cannot just throw them into the sink as it may pollute and cause unwanted effect on bodies of water. Also, you cannot throw it together with other wastes as you do not know the reaction that would happen with it with the other wastes.

Many democratic nations in Europe developed welfare states during the 20th century. All of the following are elements of a welfare state, except C. government ownership of farmland.
You can use the system of elimination here - it's a great thing in a country to have old-age pensions, unemployment insurance, and government-provided health care. What is not as good is when government owns farmlands - it's better for the people to own it.
