5 0

The period between 1750 and 1900 saw a series of revolutions across Europe and the Americas. Many important political changes took place during these years, and some were considered particularly influential, such as the Revolutionary War in the American colonies or the French Revolution.

These wars were a consequence of the ideas that developed during the period known as the Enlightenment. The period of the Enlightenment began in the 18th century thanks to the work of political philosophers such as Locke, Rousseau, Voltaire, Montesquieu, Smith and Hume. These philosophers developed a new idea of the state, and its connection with the people. They argued that the state had the responsibility of responding to the needs of citizens. They also argued that citizens had inalienable rights such as freedom that the state should not infringe upon. These ideas empowered people to seek change and demand effective government.

What do Hispanic AMerican and Asian American have in common as minority group the United States?

Alenkasestr [34]

Hispanic Americans and Latino Americans (Spanish: Estadounidenses hispanos, pronounced [isˈpanos]) are people in the United States who are descendants of people from countries of Latin America and the Iberian Peninsula.[6][7][8] The United States has the largest population of Latinos and Hispanics outside of Latin America. More generally, it includes all persons in the United States who self-identify as Hispanic or Latino, whether of full or partial ancestry.[9][10][11][12] For the 2010 United States Census, people counted as "Hispanic" or "Latino" were those who identified as one of the specific Hispanic or Latino categories listed on the census questionnaire ("Mexican", "Puerto Rican" or "Cuban") as well as those who indicated that they were "other Spanish, Hispanic, or Latino." The national origins classified as Hispanic or Latino by the United States Census Bureau are the following: Argentine, Cuban, Colombian, Puerto Rican, Spaniards, Dominican, Mexican, Costa Rican, Guatemalan, Honduran, Nicaraguan, Panamanian, Salvadoran, Bolivian, Spanish, Chilean, Ecuadorian, Paraguayan, Peruvian, Uruguayan, and Venezuelan. Other U.S. government agencies have slightly different definitions of the term, including Brazilians and other Portuguese-speaking groups. The Census Bureau uses the terms Hispanic and Latino interchangeably.[13]
