<u>The main contributions of those Enlightment thinkers were the following:</u>

  • John Locke was among the first ones who developed the <u>social contract theory.</u> He also claimed for <u>natural rights:</u> "life, liberty, and property.
  • Jean-Jacques Rousseau introduced the concept of <u>social contract.</u> it established that citizens were the ones who held power legitimately, and these should grant it to representatives elected through suffrage, that would conform the goverments. This viewpoint sharply contrasted with the absolute monarchies that ruled in most European countries.
  • Isaac Newton is a very representative figure of the <u>scientific revolution</u> during the age of Reason. He developed the laws of motion and universal gravitation, and afterwards the theory of relativity.  
  • Baron the Montesquieu: introduced the concept of the <u>separation of powers</u> in three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. It constituted a mechanism to preserve democracy in the sense that it prevented the emergence of any form of authoritarism, as each of the powers should supervise the other two.
  • Cotton Mather: was a puritan leader from New England. He promoted the <u>use of vaccines</u> for illness prevention.

   Jean-Jacques Rousseau: Society should be ruled by the “general will” of the people.

   Isaac Newton: Discovered laws of gravity and motion that showed the natural world wasn’t controlled by spirits

   Baron de Montesquieu: Power should not be concentrated in the hands of one individual

   Cotton Mather: Advocated the use of science to immunize citizens against smallpox

What was Monroe's presidency referred to as
ahrayia [7]

"Era of Good Feelings," I believe. Political differences seemed to disappear and Federalist Party seemed almost nonexistent. Nobody cared about party system and everyone got along, which is basically what Washington would've wanted from the beginning.

What are the effects Dunkirk had on the germans?​
skad [1K]

Answer:

Impact of Dunkirk While the German blitzkrieg was undoubtedly successful (France would call for an armistice by mid-June 1940), the largely successful evacuation of the bulk of Britain's trained troops from near-annihilation proved to be a key moment in the Allied war effort.
