History

Pepsi [2]3 years ago
6 0
Some women who were involved in the abolitionist movement became aware that women had their lives restricted in some ways that were not unlike the restrictions put on slaves. At the anti-slavery convention in London in 1840, women delegates were not allowed to speak and were relegated to the gallery. 

<span>Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton got talking about the unfairness of this situation, and this gave them the idea for having a convention to discuss women's rights, though it did not actually take place until 1848, at Seneca Falls. </span>

<span>Elizabeth Cady Stanton and other female abolitionists saw some similarities between the unfairness which with slaves were treated, and the unfair situation many women found themselves in, married women not being able to own property for instance, or obtain a divorce from a husband even if he was cruel or brutal to her.</span>

What were the principal political goals of the philosophes?
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

  • The promotion of natural rights and the sovereignty of the people in politics (the social contract).

Explanation:

The Enlightenment philosophes championed the Scientific Revolution's  approach to knowledge, emphasizing the use of reason in all matters, in contrast to following superstition or unquestioningly accepting traditional beliefs.  

The Scientific Revolution showed that there are natural laws in place in the physical world and in the universe at large.  Applying similar principles to matters like government and society, Enlightenment thinkers believed that using reason will guide us to the best ways to operate politically so we can create the most beneficial conditions for society.  For many Enlightenment thinkers, this included a conviction that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved.    This led to changes of approach to how society should be governed -- moving away from ideas like the "divine right of kings" to the establishment of more democratic, constitutional societies.  This was the concept of the "social contract," that governments get their authority to govern from the consent of the governed.
