History

patriot [66]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Through experimentation and observation and by the use of reason.

Explanation:

The Scientific Revolution placed an emphasis on empirical analysis as a way of acquiring knowledge.  Empiricism is the term for an approach that emphasizes learning from observation and experience, rather than relying on tradition or superstition.  Francis Bacon wrote about this method in his 1620 book, <em>Novum Organum Scientiarum</em> - "The New Instrument of Science."

There was also an emphasis on the use of reason to think things through thoroughly, seeking to establish knowledge that held up to scrutiny and deep thought.  This was the approach put forth by Rene Descartes in a famous book he published in 1637, <em>Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting One's Reason and of Seeking Truth in the Sciences.  </em>(I'll spare you the full title in French.)   This approach was known as rationalism.

Both the rationalism of Descartes and the empiricism advocated by Bacon had an influence on the Scientific Revolution.  In the end, science mostly followed the path of empiricism.  There continued to be advocates of rationalism within the field of philosophy.

How did the Supreme Court erode (destroy) the rights of African Americans?
Anton [14]
After the Civil War, 4 million former slaves were looking for social equality and economic opportunity. It wasn't clear initially whether they would enjoy full-fledged citizenship or would be subjugated by the white population.

In the 1860s, it was the Republican Party in Washington — the home of former abolitionists — that sought to grant legal rights and social equality to African-Americans in the South. The Republicans — then dubbed radical Republicans — managed to enact a series of constitutional amendments and reconstruction acts granting legal equality to former slaves — and giving them access to federal courts if their rights were violated.

The 13th Amendment, which was ratified in 1865, abolished slavery. Three years later, the 14th Amendment provided blacks with citizenship and equal protection under the law. And in 1870, the 15th Amendment gave black American males the right to vote.

Five years later, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1875, a groundbreaking federal law proposed by Republican Sen. Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, which guaranteed that everyone in the United States was "entitled to the full and equal enjoyment" of public accommodations and facilities regardless of race or skin color.
