The correct answer is C) Enlightenment

The Enlightenment period took place during the 18th century in Europe. This era saw a drastic change in the way that citizens viewed the purpose of government. This helped to spark the declaration of independence and social contract theory.

The Declaration of Independence contained Enlightenment ideas like the right of the governed. In the Declaration of Independence it discusses how any time a government becomes ineffective, the people have the right to replace it. This is an Enlightenment idea.

The social contract theory states that the power of the government comes from the citizens. This was also an Enlightenment concept.

Describe the process of Western Europe transforming from a unified Roman Empire in 330 to independent nation-states in 1500.
Nikitich [7]

The process that saw Western Europe going from a unified Roman Empire to independent nation-states was:

  • Roman empire weakens and barbarians take hold of Roman lands.
  • Barbarians establish numerous Kingdoms and nation-states.
  • Monarchs share power with nobles in the feudalistic system.
  • Black death weakens the power of nobles and increases that of monarchs.
  • Monarchs consolidate power and establish true nation-states.

<h3>How did Europe's nation-states form?</h3>

After the Roman empire broke up as a result of several factors including the incursions of barbarians, several kingdoms were formed.

These kingdoms expanded and contracted under the reign of kings who shared power with nobles. Eventually, the monarchs gained the upper hand and established independent nation-states.

Why did general MacArthur address congress after he was fired.?
Zielflug [23.3K]
<span>Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s farewell address to Congress on April 19, 1951. MacArthur was invited to speak to a Joint Session of Congress after he was fired by President Harry Truman for having made critical statements about Truman’s policies as it related to the Korean War. MacArthur spoke eloquently in his speech about the nobility of the American Soldier, and closed with his famous statement, “Old Soldiers never die, they just fade away.” This speech is a masterpiece of public speaking, whatever you think of Truman’s decision to fire MacArthur.</span>
