The correct answer is: "social contract and popular sovereignty".

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

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

Explanation:

The Spanish-American War was a military conflict that confronted Spain and the United States in 1898, the result of the American intervention in the Cuban War of Independence. At the end of the brief conflict, Spain was defeated and its main results were the loss of the island of Cuba (which was proclaimed an independent republic, but was under the tutelage of the United States), as well as Puerto Rico, the Philippines and Guam. that became colonial dependencies of the United States. In the Philippines, the American occupation degenerated into the Philippine-American War of 1899-1902. The rest of the Spanish possessions in the Pacific were sold to the German Empire through the Spanish-German treaty of February 12, 1899, by which Spain ceded to the German Empire its last archipelagos - the Marianas (except Guam), the Palau and the Carolinas. in exchange for 25 million pesetas (17 million marks), since they were indefensible by Spain.
