Answer:

Among the several Enlightenment-era influential philosophers, I believe that <u>John Locke</u> is the one who better understood politics, and has the best conception of man's natural state. Plus, he was influential in the US political thought during the Revolution Era.

Explanation:

<u>John Locke theorized that the man, once living in the natural state, it's free, but he doesn't feel himself safe. Then, the man makes a contract with a superior authority - the State - to promote him the necessary goods. However, this contract address that the State shouldn't interfere on the man's business. It's only duty was to promote social development. Once the government didn't follow the contract, man could take off the governor and elect another one. This principle was crucial in the development of the US political thought. </u>If we compare Locke with Jean-Jacques Rousseau, for instance, we can see that Locke has a better conception about politics, and in several ways, Locke's view is more realistic. Rousseau had a romanticized point of view about society, and according to him, humans are strictly good, and they enjoy to live in the community.

The social structure of the colonies was designed for the benefit of the upper class?
erica [24]

Answer: The gentry included wealthy planters, merchants, ministers, royal officials, and successful lawyers. Prosperous artisans, like goldsmiths, were often considered gentry as well. The gentry were few in number, but they were the most powerful people. Because members of high social classes tend to be better educated and have higher incomes, they are able to offer greater educational advantages, such as private schooling, to their children as well.

Why does the Industrial Revolution begin in Britain?
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Imperalism, population boom, and faster production due to factories.

Explanation:

The British started to make more and more money off of putting cild laborers into the factories with horrible working conditions. They also experienced a large population boom because people from other countries were looking for money to send home to their families and all of the new factories provided thousands of job openings. The Industrial Revolution also brought imperalism to Britain because they had so much supplies and weapons stock piled that they could essentially take over  whatever they wanted.

The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 resulted in which outcome?
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

The main outcome was the return of Russia as an independent country together with Belarus and Ukraine. That happened in December 1991. The three states formed the CIS, or Commonwealth of Independent States. The exit of Russia from the Soviet Union was a mortal blow to the Communist state that had existed since 1917 (though the formal name of Soviet Union was adopted in 1922). The breakup of the USSR is the end of the Cold War.
