What did enlightenment thinkers believe that contributed to changes in relationships between citizens and governments

History

Bond [772]3 years ago

Answer:    Governments are instituted to protect citizens’ rights.

Explanation:  Enlightenment thinkers argued that the government was in the service of the citizen, and as such obliged to protect the natural rights of the people. This entailed a so-called social contract guaranteeing the natural rights of the people and a protective attitude towards the citizens, but also the duty of the citizens to support the government in their efforts to secure those rights. This also meant that the government would be replaceable if it did not protect the interests of the citizens until moral authority was secured that would legitimately protect the citizens, which again meant that the government had to be changed as many times as necessary, the danger would be present if this were not done.

How did the cold war begin and what weapons were used to fight this war?
lubasha [3.4K]
WWII- started after WWII due to differing idealogies, actions and inactions during the war

now, weapons used is a bit trickier.
There were no real weapons actually used for the cold as there were no real engagements between the USA and USSR. It was generally fought through proxies wars (we give money and weapons to two factions in a country and have them fight it through).
If you consider threats and spies as weapon, then i would say those were the real weapons of the cold war. However, the Cold war was more of a mexican standoff in which both sides had the capability of annihilating all human civilization.
