How did the Enlightenment philosophy influence European leaders in the 18th century?

The 18th Century Age of Enlightenment in Scotland is universally acknowledged as a cultural phenomenon of international significance, and philosophy equally 
 widely regarded as central to it. In point of fact, the expression ‘Scottish Philosophy’ only came into existence in 1875 with a book of that title by James McCosh, and the term ‘Scottish Enlightenment’ made an even later appearance (in 1904). Nevertheless, the two terms serve to identify an astonishing ferment of intellectual activity in 18th century Scotland, and a brilliant array of philosophers and thinkers. Chief among these, after Hutcheson, were George Turnbull, Adam Smith, Adam Ferguson, Hugh Blair, William Robertson and of course, David Hume. Hume apart, all these figures were university teachers who also actively contributed to the intellectual
inquiries of their time. Most of them were also clergymen. This second fact made the Scottish Age of Enlightenment singularly different from its cultural counterparts in France and Germany, where ‘enlightenment’ was almost synonymous with the rejection of religion. By contrast, Hutcheson, Reid, Campbell, Robertson and Blair were highly respected figures in both the academy and the church, combining a commitment to the Christian religion with serious engagement in the newest intellectual inquiries. These inquiries, to which Hume was also major contributor, were all shaped by a single aspiration – a science of human nature. It was the aim of all these thinkers to make advances in the human sciences equivalent to those that had been made in the natural sciences, and to do so by deploying the very same methods, namely the scientific methodology of  Francis Bacon and Sir Isaac Newton

In conducting Internet research, which is not a factor in evaluating an online source?
son4ous [18]

Answer:  B. Internet connection speed

Internet speeds vary for many reasons and they won't have an impact on whether a source is credible or not. Instead, you should look at the domain name, the website name, the author, etc to check credibility. You should also get as many sources as you can to back up a claim.

Please tell me if the commas and the periods are in the right place and if not where do they go thanks
Oksanka [162]

hai luv, I learned that the coma is behind the starting thing. Sorry, that's not the best explanation but this is what I found is correct. "Back in those days, white people and colored people were separated for everything they did in life and were treated differently because of the color of their skin."

How did Democrats seize power from Republicans in the South?
Neko [114]

Democratic dominance of the South originated in the struggle of white Southerners during and after Reconstruction (1865–1877) to reestablish white supremacy and disenfranchise blacks. The U.S. government under the Republican Party had defeated the Confederacy, abolished slavery, and enfranchised blacks.
