The correct answer is: "Enlightenmnet ideas challenged the power structures of the Old Regime: religion and absolut monarchies"

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: definition of bills of citizens' rights, social contract (citizens electing political representatives to create goverments through suffrage, in opposition to the prevailing absolute monarchies whose power was supposed to arise from God's will), and the division of the powers of the state in order to avoid excessive power accumulation in certain sectors, and risks of authoritarism.

In what ways did Caesar act like a king?

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Julius Caesar began to reshape the Roman Republic by beginning to give himself authority over certain aspects other officials would get. For example, Caesar gained control of the consul (which were supposed to be two that held the "most" authority), the praetor (which were the replacements of the consuls), and other positions slowly without outright saying he was overruling their authority. He frequently ignored the suggestions of the Senate when it came to war and other affairs, and he basically did as much as he could to gain absolute power without everyone suspecting so. He even declared a civil war against Rome because his enemy, General Pompey, was rivalling his power. I hope this helps, Julius Caesar is a very interesting character!
