Hi!

The ideas of the enlightenment were exponential to the ideas we have today regarding politics. Great philosophers like John Locke set forth ideas like the invisible hand and the social contract.

Thoughts like these led to the fall of one of the most common forms of government at the time - a monarch. This led to nations changing to form a true system of government, where not one individual has too much power.

The ideas set forth by great thinkers like Locke helped put power in the hands of the people, not one individual at the top. The ideologies developed during this time are still in place today.

People conjured up the idea of splitting the government up into branches, as a way to prevent one person from having all the power. Our government still follows this set of ideas, by being split up into three different branches.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

What are the methods for amending the constitution in the US
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Article V of the Constitution provides two ways to propose amendments to the document. Amendments may be proposed either by the Congress, through a joint resolution passed by a two-thirds vote, or by a convention called by Congress in response to applications from two-thirds of the state legislatures.

Explanation:                                                                                                               "

Four Methods of Amending the U.S. Constitution

A two-thirds vote in both houses of the U.S. Congress. Ratified by three-fourths of the state legislatures.

A two-thirds vote in both houses of U.S. Congress. ...

A national constitutional convention called by two-thirds of the state legislatures."

"The number of proposed amendments to the Constitution is an approximation for several reasons.  Inadequate indexing in the early years of the Congress, and separate counting of amendments in the nature of a substitute, may obscure the total. It is also common for a number of identical resolutions to be offered on issues that have widespread public and congressional support. Finally, congressional rules limiting the number of cosponsors permitted for each proposed amendment may be a factor in the number of resolutions introduced."
