The Portuguese and other Europeans were motivated to find new routes to Asia because they were in reaction to the Ottomans capturing Constantinople and expanding their influence in the Mediterranean.

Finding a new sea route to India was the major goal. During the period, some Arab powers and Venice were the only parties involved in the trade of Indian-origin spices like cinnamon, pepper, and others, which were consumed in large quantities in Europe. The Portuguese discovered that beginning to ship these spices over the ocean allowed Portuguese merchants to sell them for much less, but with a significant profit because there was no payment for intermediary services. Although it seems insignificant now, back then it was a major event.

gogolik [260]

Answer:

The phrase Jefferson wrote to explain these rights is:

"among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"

Explanation:

In The Declaration of Independence, Jefferson states that "all men are created equal." According to Jefferson, we are all born with the same rights, as he enumerates in the phrase below:

"among these [rights] are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"

Jefferson also defends the idea that we have the right to reject a government that does not work to ensure those rights. Notice that, at the beginning of the phrase, he says "among these", meaning we are entitled to other rights. The ones he mentions are perhaps the most basic and yet most important ones.
