History
1 answer:
Ainat [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

A. Democracy.

Explanation:

The age of Enlightenment of the 17th and 18th centuries was an age of ideas intellectually and philosophically where reason centers the basics of everything. Thinkers of this period began to question traditional authority and chose to propagate the idea of humanity through rational changes.

<u>Philosophers of this Enlightenment believe in the notion of a democratic government where the people can have their voices heard and also participate and be a part of the government system</u>. With the decline in the monarchical ruling system, democracy began to emerge as the popular form of governing the people, in the belief that the government is created for the people and their welfare, and thus, it is only reasonable that they are made a part of the system. Famous thinkers of this age include <u>Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, René Descartes</u> among others.

How did colonial powers govern their colonies?
Dmitrij [34]
I am going to assume here you are referring to the 'Scramble of Africa' that happened in the second half of the 19th century, as the European power did not really control the African regions before then. 

The methods contexts did differ per colonising power and colonised region, but it boils down to the following factors:

- superior firepower, equipment and recourses; having better guns, armour, communication technology, and supply routes, made the Europeans a formidable enemy that the various tribes simply could not counter.

- co-opting the local elites; a tried and tested method for centuries, this has always been the way smart conquerers could maintain control over a region with minimal fuss and expenditur.

<span>- divide and conquer; conflict between the many tribes of Africa has been a constant for centuries in the continent. The Europeans could easily manipulate the various tribes against each other to prevent a unified resistance from rising up. </span>

<span>- a willingness to use extreme forms of terror; the Europeans might have been all high and mighty back home about their Enlightment and democracy, but in Africa they were more than willing to use forms of terror that would make most contemporary dictators feel a little uneasy. Case in point, the widespread killing and mutilation when quotas were not met in king Leopold II's Congo.</span>

To what extent were the lives of enslaved africans different from the lives of european indentured servants in the seventeenth-c
ExtremeBDS [4]

The extent that were lives of enslaved Africans different from the lives of European indentured servants in the seventeenth-century north American colonies are -

Depending on the time and region in history, several factors have influenced African Americans' legal status in North America. African laborers' civil status was not defined by regulations in the early years of colonization. Black employees appear to have had a social position akin to that of white indentured slaves from Europe, who were contractually bound to labor for their owners for certain periods of time.

Black men and women, particularly in New Amsterdam, started to enjoy certain permissions that would later be denied to enslaved blacks in America, despite the fact that their station was that of inferiority that made them amenable to mistreatment by masters. Black servants could, for instance, sue their employers in court like white servants might. Some, such as Pedro Negretto and Manuel Rues, who filed lawsuits for unpaid wages, even succeeded.
