Answer:

In 1492 Portuguese explorers believed they could get to Asia more quickly by sailing around the southern tip of Africa.

Explanation:

The project to find the sea route to India was devised by John II of Portugal as a measure to reduce the costs of trade with Asia, in an attempt to monopolize the trade in spices. With an increasingly strong maritime presence, John II longed for the dominance of commercial routes and the expansion of his kingdom, which was beginning to become an empire, but after having rejected the project of Christopher Columbus, and after the discovery of America by Castile, it saw his interests in danger despite the successive treaties of Alcaçovas and Tordesillas. Although John II was the main promoter of the project, the company would not be realized during his reign, but during the one of his successor Manuel I, who would designate Vasco da Gama for this expedition, maintaining as far as possible the original plan of his predecessor. The expedition finally started on July 8th, 1497, and was a success.

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Among the several Enlightenment-era influential philosophers, I believe that <u>John Locke</u> is the one who better understood politics, and has the best conception of man's natural state. Plus, he was influential in the US political thought during the Revolution Era.

Explanation:

<u>John Locke theorized that the man, once living in the natural state, it's free, but he doesn't feel himself safe. Then, the man makes a contract with a superior authority - the State - to promote him the necessary goods. However, this contract address that the State shouldn't interfere on the man's business. It's only duty was to promote social development. Once the government didn't follow the contract, man could take off the governor and elect another one. This principle was crucial in the development of the US political thought. </u>If we compare Locke with Jean-Jacques Rousseau, for instance, we can see that Locke has a better conception about politics, and in several ways, Locke's view is more realistic. Rousseau had a romanticized point of view about society, and according to him, humans are strictly good, and they enjoy to live in the community.
