Evidence suggests that the Minoans  disappeared so suddenly because of the massive volcanic eruption in the Santorini Islands. Excavations there have uncovered Akrotiri, a Minoan town which was buried in this eruption, one of the largest in recorded history. The eruption was only 70 miles from Crete, the center of the Minoan civilization. Recent evidence suggests that the Santorini eruption was up to 10 times more powerful than the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883. It caused massive climatic disruption and the blast was heard over 3000 miles away.

We know now that the Santorini eruption and the collapse of the volcanic cone into the sea caused tsunamis which devastated the coasts of Crete and other Minoan coastal towns. Radiocarbon dating shows that a large tsunamis Crete at the same time as the Santorini eruption.

Which passage. From the Declaration of Independence most clearly reflects the enlightenment principle of addressing a broken soc
cricket20 [7]

The correct answer is: ""That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." According to the principle of Social Contract developed by 18th century Philosophers (notably Jean-Jacques Rousseau) a government is only legitimate if it respects the authority that people have consented to give it in order to protect their inalienable human rights and that it loses such legitimacy when it does the opposite, the people (the governed) have the right to modify it or overthrow it.
