Answer:
Political debates were encouraged.
Explanation:
Humanism, a philosophical movement that emerged in the Renaissance, encouraged political debate in Europe.
Hummanist philosophers put the human being at the center of the philosophical debate (hence the name of the movement), and began to question some forms of power which they found denigrating to human dignity.
