Answer:  The most notable was the influence of the Social Contract. The Social Contract is the agreement between the government and its citizens, and defines the rights of each party. John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, Jean-Jacques Rousseau are most notable for the creation of the social contract political philosophy. The Social Contract believes that “individuals are born into an anarchic state of nature. Then, by exercising natural reason, formed a society (and a government) by means of a contract among themselves.” In other words, people are born into the world without any knowledge or opinions but then develop their views based on their society. Their society, in turn, is affected and altered based on the people’s beliefs. Self-interest, or “personal interest or advantage,” inspires a society and government who derives its power from the people. The social contract states that “rational people” should believe in organized government, and this ideology highly influenced the writers of the Declaration of Independence.

Describe the environmental impact of intensive land use during the Middle Ages
maria [59]

During the Middle Ages farming was the basis of society. Every one of the feudal system - the lord, servants, and retainers - was supported by the income that came from farming. So the exploration of land was extremely important which caused a huge environmental impact.

The problem was that in that time there was no agricultural improvement, they did not know how to enrich the soil or how to do the proper rotation of crops, they used the system that cultivated 2/3 of the land and let the other third to rest. This caused a series of impacts such as climate changes, deforestation, and soil erosion.
