How did the Enlightenment contribute to changes in government systems?

History
2 answers:
solong [7]3 years ago

Enlightenment thinkers such as Thomas Paine, Jean Jacques Rousseau, and Montesquieu developed governmental theories.

These governmental theories such as 'social contract', 'natural rights', and 'separation of powers' all influence government systems in modern times by providing a pathway, or base, for the ideas presented in our U.S. Constitution.

It is suspected that the founding fathers borrowed many ideas introduced in the Enlightenment -- For instance, separation of powers was an idea developed by Charles Montesquieu. It stated that political power should be separated amongst multiple so that no one could assume complete power over government. This idea was borrowed and is the basis of our U.S. government today.

Answer:

The Enlightenment led to the formation of new ideas of government where "rulers and rule" don't exist, but a government where people are able to govern themselves by choosing their leaders who are capable of handling power. This led to people getting new ideas and improving those ideas about government and these people were called Enlightenment thinkers. These people contributed to the formation of the U.S. government itself and they contributed to the improvement of many aspects of the U.S. government like criminal punishment.

Television is good for you because it can teach you important values or life lessons.

sashaice [31]
Suppose that South Carolina doesn't have laws against price-gouging, profiteering unreasonably it would be harder for the state to recover from the disaster. Commodities and gas would likely have higher prices where people would be forced to buy even if they don't have enough money because they don't have a choice. North Carolina would be more stable enough to recover since they have stricter policies to help their constituents during the calamity and be able to meet their needs by having affordable access to goods.
