Erik the red is credited with giving greenland its name.

<h3>Who is Erik the red?</h3>
  • According to medieval and Icelandic saga traditions, the Norse explorer Erik Thorvaldsson, often known as Erik the Red, established the first settlement in Greenland between the years of 950 and 1003.
  • He probably got the nickname "the Red" because of the color of his hair and beard. He was born in the Jaeren neighborhood of Rogaland, Norway, as the son of Thorvald Asvaldsson, according to Icelandic sagas. Leif Erikson, a well-known Icelandic explorer, was one of Erik's sons.
  • Erik had a brief exile, following in his father's footsteps. His thralls (slaves) triggered a landslide on Valthjof's adjoining property, which led to the initial clash. Eyjolf the Foul, a friend of Valthjof's, afterwards executed the thralls. Erik then killed Eyjolf and Holmgang-Hrafn in vengeance.

The ideas of locke and rousseau are found most easily in which of these documents?
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

The Declaration of Independence

Explanation:

What is the first statement of the Declaration of Independence? That all men are created equal and with unalienable Rights. Sure, in this brief quote we can find the political thinking of John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. They advocated that humans are born free, but they choose to live in a community for protection and to maintain their rights giving their freedom to the State. Both philosophers believed that humans were free, equal, and the State created by them should keep them in that way. No matter if limiting the State influence over the individual (Locke) or living in community because they liked to be part of it (Rousseau), these two philosophers have the same idea about freedom.
