History

Kryger [21]2 years ago

The correct answer is D.

The popular sovereignty principle was developed during the Enlightenment era, constituted by philosophers that promoted Reason and the scientific method over medieval superstitions and religious dogmas, and the establishment of democratic societies where the power resided on its people, and not in absolute monarchs or rulers "appointed by God", that prevailed back then.

This is why the <u>Declaration of Independence, based on many Enlightenment principles, included that the power of a goverement has to be derived from the consent of the governed</u>, which usually are entitled to elect political representatives through suffrage.

Gandhi was trained to be a<br><br> soldier<br><br> lawyer<br><br> politician<br><br> arbitrator
inysia [295]

Gandhi was in fact a Lawyer. He was trained in law for over 20 years being very successful in South Africa before moving back to India. This helped him, as the mindset of a lawyer enabled him to deal with situations using words, rather then violence.

I hope this helps! :)

How did the gold rush affect the First Nations people.
trapecia [35]
<span>The gold rush saw a massive influx of miners to traditional First Nations territories. The miners paid very little heed to the practices of First Nations people, often destroying important habitat. Miners moved on after exhausting gold and natural resources in an area, leaving fewer resources for Aboriginal peoples who remained. So it affected people in a bad way because they got a lot more more money to buy and find gold.</span>
