The history of external colonisation of Africa can be dated from ancient, medieval, or modern history, depending on how the term colonisation is defined. In popular parlance, discussions of colonialism in Africa usually focus on the European conquests of the New Imperialism and the Scramble for Africa (1884-1914) era, followed by gradual decolonisation. The principal powers involved in the modern colonisation of Africa are Britain, France, Germany, Portugal, and Italy. In nearly all African countries today, the language used in government and media is the one imposed by a recent colonial power.
Answer:
<h3>Rule of man and divine rights of kings emphasizes that all powers and sovereignty rests in the hands of a single person.</h3>
Explanation:
Rule of man and divine rights of kings emphasizes that all powers and sovereignty rests in the hands of a single person. When a single person has full discretion and absolute sovereignty over the people, power can be misused or, in most cases, dictatorship may arise.
People began to <u>understand the need of power sharing and representative government</u> as divine rights of kings and rule of man did a lot of harm to the people. <u>Individual rights, freedom of speech and expression and equality</u> developed within the minds of the people with time.
Thus, people demanded for rule of law <u>where every individual had equal rights and freedoms under the codified laws.</u> The kings were also subjective to such laws and could not exercise discretionary powers over anyone under the rule of law.
In both situations people will only do whats best for them and not think of how the society benefits from situations only how they themself benefits.
It’s definitely E.....
