The correct answer is: "he believed in the power of reason to improve human life"

The Enlightenment philosophers, such as Locke, Monstequieu or Rosseau. introduced ideas that challenged, and ended up derrocating, the power structures of the Old Regime. They promoted reason and the scientific method over religious dogmatism and superstititions.

The main principles developed were the following: and they are the following: definition of bills of citizens' rights, social contract (citizens electing political representatives to create goverment through suffrage, in opposition to the prevailing absolute monarchies), and the division of the powers of the state in order to avoid excessive power accumulation in certain sectors, and risks of authoritarism.

<u>Benjamin Franklin shared these ideas and principles and tried to apply them in the United States. </u>

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

The conflict between white and plain Indians refers to fatalities and quarrels between white settlers and indigenous Americans.

Explanation:

Because of a population increase and the addition of new states into its territories, the United States as a nation was steadily expanding westward by the 1800s. However, the land was already occupied by Plains Indians. The Plains Indians culture, language, and religion, was completely different from that of the white settlers. The conflict between the white settlers and native Indians thus became inevitable. The movement to Reservations and General Allotment (Dawes) Act of 1887 were some examples of how government policies of stick and carrot used against native Indians.

This growing Indian force threatened American plans to move west and seemed especially dangerous since it received economic and military support from the British in Canada. In November 1811 the U.S. destroyed Prophetstown during the BATTLE OF TIPPECANOE, under the leadership of future president WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON. Tecumseh was away at the time recruiting southern Creeks to the confederacy.
