During the age of imperialism, European countries competed
to gain new territories to acquire markets and resources to gain wealth and
influence. The more territories one
country control the more powerful their influence grew in world politics and
created conflict as some countries saw others as a threat. When the war ended, many countries were
devastated as lives were lost and the economy suffered. This was especially true to those on the
losing. After many demands were placed
on them, they grew angry and as a result this laid the seeds for the Second
World War.

The correct answer is: "people should hold their governments accountable".
The Enlighment movement emerged in Europe and was constituted by philosophers that promoted Reason and the scientific method over medieval superstition and religious dogmas, and the establishment of democratic societies where the power resided on its people, and not in monarchs or rulers "appointed by God". The resulting states that emerged based on the principles of this movement, enacted bills of civil rights for the first time in history, and implemented principles such as the division of powers or the social contract, through which citizens elected their governors by suffrage.
Such Enlightment principles were transferred to the American colonies, where the population claimed for political representation rather than being governed by foreigners that were appointed by a foreign king. Such claims were ignored and the colonies, influenced by the new democratic principles, started several revolutionary movements for independence aiming to establish new independent states based on the Enlightment principles like in Europe. <u>States where people elect governors and have the power to remove them if they do their job badly and, hence, those governors are accountable to their citizens. </u>
