How did Enlightenment ideas show up in the various Democratic Revolutions?

History

The Enlightenment period resulted in the creation of many different ideas seen in politics all across the world. A perfect example would be the concept of natural rights. Natural rights are supposed to be basic rights that all humans have. When first developed these included life, liberty, and property. This concept was seen in the French Revolution, as the Third Estate fought for the idea and used the phrase "Liberty, equality, and fraternity" to display what natural rights they had as citizens.

Another Enlightenment idea seen in democratic revolutions is the idea of the social contract. The social contract was an agreement between the people and the government that stated that citizens would give up some of their freedoms so that the government could make laws. If a government failed to own up to their end of the social contract, the citizens had a right to revolt. This is a perfect example of what happened during the American Revolution. American colonists felt that the British government was being unjust and was not ruling by the consent of the governed (aka the consent of the people) so they rebelled.

How did Henry Flagler impact Florida?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Henry Morrison Flagler (businessman from the late 19th and early 20th centuries) was a visionary: he built a railroad and a road across the Florida Key, all the way to Key West, the southernmost island in the chain and he planned to buy the Bahamas and continue the road and the railroad across the Bahamas. There, he believed in the power of money so much! Some prominent rich people began to build magnificent holiday palaces during the first two decades of the 20th century, thus creating the "Millionaire's Row."
