Answer:
Enlightenment
Explanation:
The <em>"European Enlightenment" </em>or the<em> "Age of Reason"</em> flourished in the <em>18th century. Enlightenment Thinkers </em>focused on the conditions of the human beings and believed in the rational change of people. They valued the natural rights of humans–<u>the right to life, liberty and property</u>. This kind of thinking affected the American revolutions. It also shaped the<em> "Declaration of Independence," </em>which was used by the Americans in order to free themselves from the British control.
The "separation of powers" arose from the idea of John Locke and Pierre Bayle, who were <em>Enlightenment Thinkers.</em> They stated that the Church and the State should have separate powers.
Kuwait was imposed to Iraq due to the fact that it has lots of oil C.
Most of the Louisiana territory had been set aside for the Indians.
other western land was considered barren waste.
<u>Broad Context:</u> The "Big Picture" is that the US is trying to annex the Republic of Texas as part of their states, and that Texas already <em>shared many common traits </em>(why? part) with the US, and should join as a state of their choosing, (which means slave or free) (How? part).
<u>Other Context:<em> </em></u><em> </em>The adding of Texas into the US (eventually as a slave state) offsetted the balance between the slaves and free states, and so California (gained after the Mexican-American War) was turned into a free state. Texas was the cause of the Texas Revolution & later on the (already named) Mexican-American War. The adding of Texas, and later the Gadsen Purchase, help create today's US southern border that is shared with Mexico.
