Answer is A. fewer daylight hours.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The Medieval Period within Europe led to an increase in knowledge and learning, especially in relation to scholasticism. How does this methodology of learning compare to movements, such as Confucianism and Sufism?
The new methodology in learning was the by-product of the Renaissance in Europe.
After so many years of dark ages during the Medieval Times, Renaissance brought different ideas that invited to use reason and logic, instead of just allowing the belief systems of the Christian church that thought that everything in nature was the result of God's will.
Renaissance also allowed an artistic expression never before seen since ancient Greece and ancient Rome. Great artists like Michelangelo Buonarroti, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Rafael, created beautiful pieces of art.
How do scholasticism and the rise of universities foreshadow later changes in thinking in Europe?
The creation of universities dramatically changed the way people viewed nature and reality. The age of reason allowed the presence of bright minds that played key roles during the Enlightenment.
New ideas about forms of government, social contracts, and civil rights appeared from the minds of great thinkers and philosophers like Baron de Montesquiou, Voltaire, Jean-Jaques Rosseau, Jhon Locke, and Thomas Hobbes.
The primary factor involved in the formation of laws as well as in being administered honestly is good and educated citizens.
Jefferson spent much of his time writing the laws for
Virginia during Independence War. This called for an education system for all.
Jefferson in another place makes it clear that the only way to have the laws
honestly and wisely administered is to create and form a well-educated citizen.
He said and I quote:
<span>… it is generally true that that people will be happiest whose laws are best, and are best administered, and that laws will be wisely formed, and honestly administered, in proportion as those who form and administer them are wise and honest …</span>
They were worried that by creating a strong central government, the rights, naturaul rights, and needs of the people would be overlooked. This is why many advocated for strong state government, and a weak national government. However, this resulted in states acting individually and not as a nation which resulted in many conflicts.
