Answer:

A-the high literacy rate in American colonies

Explanation:

In the central decades of the 18th century (the "century of lights"), the cultural movement of the Enlightenment spread rapidly from France (Montesquieu, Voltaire, Rousseau, the encyclopedists) to the Anglo-Saxon world (which in fact had preceded and influenced notably with the scientific and political revolution of the seventeenth-century: Newton, Locke, Berkeley - who resided in America - or Hume), and particularly in the Thirteen Colonies of North America, where it found sufficiently trained elites, an especially favorable public opinion, a high literacy rate, and a free and dynamic press. The intellectual debates had a clear influence on the political and social movement of the American (or "American") revolution, which led to the formation of an independent United States (1776). Among the enlightened Americans were both local characters (Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams or James Wilson) and British people settled in the new nation (Thomas Paine or Joseph Priestley). Most of the so-called "founding fathers" can be considered both politicians and intellectuals of enlightened tendency, who politically defended the concept of the social contract, civil and political rights, and religious tolerance. The reconciliation between reason and faith through a deist sensibility, which rejected dogmas and mysticism and demanded a complete separation between the churches and the State, is characteristic of the American illustration.

Answer:

One of the federal governments' powers are the power to declare war.

Explanation:

A federal government has the ability to declare war on any country at any time, without the approval many other governments rely on. The decision to do so, however, relies on the executive group of people at the head of the government, like the President, Vice-President, and the cabinet.

Identify the events that led to the Progressive Era, and explain who the Progressives actually were.
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

The events that led to the Progressive Era—which was a period of predominant social and political reforms in the United States between the 1890s and 1920s—were the socioeconomic challenges and problems caused by political corruption and inefficiency, urbanization, immigration, and industrialization. The Progressive Era aimed at tackling and removing corruption from many aspects of government and daily living, and strengthening democracy.

Generally speaking, the progressives were/included both government (political) and non-governmental leaders alike: political leaders included people like Robert M. La Follette Sr., Roosevelt Franklin, Charles Evans Hughes, Woodrow Wilson, William Jennings, etc. On the other hand, non-governmental leaders included Sophonisba Breckinridge, Jane Addams, Edith Abbott, etc.
