8 0

The Age of Enlightenment (aka The Age of Reason) started in the early 17th century (1685 to be exact). It's key to know that early philospophers in England like Thomas Hobbes and Francis Bacon, as well as scientists such as Isaac Newton were really the ones who started it. The works they published in science, mathematics and philosophy provided the proper tools that would be used throughout the age. It's also key to know that nations other than England had their own Enlightenments, each starting some time after the English Enlightenment.

It primarily began as a result of philosophers and thinkers questioning traditional authority, and trying to change humanity through rational and moral improvements. This led to some of the greatests modern philosophers of our time, and changed the world into what we have today.

All were reasons that Americans opposed imperialism, except?

Sloan [31]

The correct answer is "D".

There was a wave of "Anti Imperialism" who emerged in America during 1898. After defeating the Spanish in the Wars for territories such as Cuba, Guam, The Philippines and Cuba, Americans, instead of letting those territories decide their political faith, decided they would exercise control over them, managing their economic activities. This was seen by many "Anti Imperialists" as something that did not represent the Constitution of the United States.
