Answer:
During the Atlantic slave trade, Latin America was the main destination of millions of African people transported from Africa to French, Portuguese, and Spanish colonies.
Explanation:
The Atlantic slave trade or transatlantic slave trade involved the transportation by slave traders of enslaved African people, mainly to the Americas. The slave trade regularly used the triangular trade route and its Middle Passage, and existed from the 16th to the 19th centuries.
Initially, other rulers in Europe were somewhat pleased that the Bourbon monarchy in France was being reduced in power by the effort to make it a constitutional monarchy. But as the French Revolution proceeded, other ruling houses and nobles in Europe felt the threat that such revolutionary fervor could pose to their own positions, and were ready to fight to stamp out the Revolution. Revolutionary France went to war against those other nations, and when Napoleon took over power in France, he continued those wars and won conquests. Napoleon brought the Civil Code that contained some of the basic ideals of the Revolution to other territories that his empire controlled. Even after Napoleon was defeated, the ideas of liberalism that the French Revolution had unleashed remained as a powerful force, and the 19th century would see a recurring series of revolutionary movements across Europe.
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>
