Which concept was not an Enlightenment idea that influenced the founders of the United States of America?

bija089 [108]

There were five Enlightenment ideas that influenced the founders of the United States of America. Nonetheless, direct democracy was not an Enlightenment idea that influenced the founders of the United States of America.

EXPLANATION:

Natural Rights

Natural rights are rights that do not originate from certain laws or forms of government. They are universal and irrevocable rights of every human being. This turned out to be an integral part of democratic thinking. The democratic notion of human rights is also closely related to natural rights.

The Separation of Powers

The idea of the separation of government power into legislative, executive, and judiciary originated in ancient Greece and Rome. Under the mode of Montesquieu, each branch of government is distinct and has independent powers. This model has been expanded in contemporary democracy to facilitate each branch works to oversee the others; theoretically, no one branch has more authority than another.

The Will of the People

The popular sovereignty, or "the will of the people," is the idea of the Enlightenment which states that government authority is created by and maintained for its citizens. Democracy implemented this idea with the intention that the people are the highest authority for themselves and can embody themselves, or select others to do it. Social agreement theorists have an important role in spelling this idea.

The Greatest Good

The Enlightenment viewpoint of utilitarianism also greatly affected the growth of Western democracy. Democracy applied the notion that laws and policies should perfectly provide "the greatest happiness to the greatest number." In actual terms, politicians usually say that they choose to pass laws because it provided the greatest benefit to the largest population.

Separation of Church and State

Freedom of religion is guaranteed in democracy because of the doctrine of separation of church and state, a legacy of the Enlightenment. At the time of the creating of the United States, several drafters of the Constitution wanted to establish a national religion.

What led to the rising number of enslaved people in Mississippi between 1800 and 1600

Troyanec [42]

The answer is B. Increasing demand for manufactured goods.

Slavery first became popular in the Americas when tobacco was starting to be grown. The demand for cash crops became so high that people started hiring indentured servants and captured slaves to work in the fields. If you didn't know an indentured servant is a person from Europe that works in exchange for their passage to the Americas.

How did Renaissance humanists differ from medieval speakers?

stiks02 [169]

The main difference is that Medieval thinking was preoccupied with God and religion, whereas Humanism is pre-occupied with reason, progress and science. If I had to put it in just one sentence, that would be it.

<span>Humanism believes that reason is the ultimate virtue, whereas the Medieval's thought that the eternal was the ultimate virtue (such as God). Humanism believes in progress and science, which is that we continually improve society and mankind and are progressing towards a utopian society, or at least a better society, through our use of reason and through improvements in technology. </span>

<span>The Enlightenment was the birth of Humanism as we perceive it today.</span>

Explanation:

The arms race went hand in hand with the Cold War, which took place 20 or so years after World War II. It was a tense situation and resulted in the U.S. and Russia stockpiling nuclear weapons as a means of protection. When America used two atomic bombs on Japan, the devastation it caused led other countries to be concerned if they were going to be next.
