Quick answers first, details follow:

  • BARON DE MONTESQUIEU - checks and balances
  • VOLTAIRE - importance of religious tolerance
  • JOHN LOCKE - natural rights

The "Separation of Powers" principle (or "checks and balances," as we often refer to it), was introduced by Montesquieu in an important work of political theory called <em>The Spirit of the Laws,</em> published in 1748.  Within his treatment of how governments will function best, Montesquieu argued that executive, legislative, and judicial functions of government ought to be divided between parts of the government, so that no one person or division of the government can infringe on the overall rights of others in the government or of the members of the society overall.

During the period of the Wars of Religion in the 16th and 17th centuries, ideas of religious tolerance began to develop among a group of thinkers known as the <em>politiques</em> in France, who believed the stability of society is a greater concern than private matters of faith.  During the period of the Enlightenment in the 18th century, the philosopher, novelist and playwright Voltaire wrote strongly in support of religious tolerance.

John Locke was one of the first of the Enlightenment era philosophers.  The Enlightenment's emphasis on reason was in contrast to superstition and traditional beliefs.  The Scientific Revolution had shown that there are natural laws in place in the physical world and in the universe at large.  Applying similar principles to matters like government and society, using reason will guide us to the best ways to operate politically so as to create the most beneficial conditions for society.  This included a conviction that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved.

Match each group involved in the Russian Revolution with its description.
Verdich [7]
Good evening.

Two were the main groups in the French Revolution. The Bolsheviks, who had as their objective the implantation of a socialist government, under the government of Lenin. His method of action was more aggressive. It was composed of the poorest population. The Mensheviks, on the other hand, aimed at a series of reforms for the fall of tsardom, but they had little interest in a forcible takeover. This group was formed mainly by the small middle class in ascension.

¿Qué diferencia existe en la visión sobre el ser humano entre el medioevo y el renacimiento?
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

La visión sobre el ser humano y la propia sociedad cambió radicalmente entre el medioevo y el renacimiento. Específicamente, la concepción del hombre en su relación con lo divino, con la naturaleza y con el poder se modificó abruptamente.

Así, durante la Edad Media la concepción del hombre dentro de la sociedad era la de un simple siervo de Dios, enmarcado en sociedades de profunda ideología religiosa que regulaba con sus propios dogmas el comportamiento de los individuos. A su vez, el poder político obtenía su legitimación de la propia religión, con lo cual la servidumbre se trasladaba a los señores feudales y los reyes que ejercían el poder en dicha época. Por lo tanto, la humanidad era teocentrista, basando su propia existencia en la visión religiosa y la adoración de un Dios.

En cambio, el Renacimiento vino a romper con dicha estructura de pensamiento. En esta etapa, se pasó de considerar a la religión como fuente de legitimación política, cultural e intelectual a poner dicha legitimación en la razón y los hechos objetivos, desplazando a Dios del centro de la escena y poniendo al hombre en su lugar. La sociedad, entonces, se convirtió en antropocéntrica, basando su propia existencia en el bienestar del hombre y el razonamiento como método de justificación de las relaciones humanas y de poder, surgiendo como consecuencia el reconocimiento de los principales derechos humanos a la vida y la libertad.
