How did the political and religious ideas of the byzantine empire compare with the western empire?
Tom [10]

I believe the answer is: B.The Byzantine emperor was considered to be the highest political and religious figure. In the Western Empire, the highest political and religious figures were two different people.

Even though it's true that the priests had a really huge influence in western politic, At that time period the highest political figures and religious figures still divided between the emperor and the High Priest. The priest's involvement in political stance limited only to being a direct advisory to the Emperor.

According to Rousseau, an agreement between citizens and the government in which citizens empower the government to make laws as
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:    Social contract; A belief that God does not intervene with the laws of the universe

Explanation:  A <em>social contract </em>is the Enlightenment idea of ​​an unofficial treaty or agreement between people and the government that exists in democratic societies in some forms today. As one of the Enlightenment philosophers, Rousseau suggested that all people with equal natural and human rights, with whom all were born equal, submit to the protection of these rights to the government and authorise it to be the guarantor of the preservation of those rights.

<em>Deism</em> is the doctrine by which God created the universe and everything in it, the planets, among others the Earth, humans, and then withdrew. He left it to humans, that is, the creation, to govern what was created according to the laws of the nature. From this it can be seen that Deism is one of the starting points of the Enlightenment, because many of the Enlightenment philosophers believed in God but not according to Church teaching, but precisely to the idea that after creation of the world God had withdrawn and left it to people. For this reason, Deism rejects supernatural religious phenomena as is the case with Church teaching, such as Revelation, and advocates ethical behaviour and engagement in the advancement of society, the state, and community.
