Answer 1

Answer:    A network of independent, educated people who were not totally reliant on either the state or the church

Explanation:  The Renaissance, as a revival of classical philosophy and humanism in ancient Greece, contributed to the spread of new ideas, art and education, though many more. The possibility of printing books and spreading scientific ideas and achievements contributed to the edification of many and their independence, especially at a time when there were more or less old models of government in the states.
