Answer:
Political debates were encouraged.
Explanation:
Humanism, a philosophical movement that emerged in the Renaissance, encouraged political debate in Europe.
Hummanist philosophers put the human being at the center of the philosophical debate (hence the name of the movement), and began to question some forms of power which they found denigrating to human dignity.
The debates however, were not very revolutionary, and it would not be until the Enlightment that true revolutionary political change would come about.
The right answer is “show the wealth of patrons”. In the Renaissance, a patron was a wealthy person who sponsored an artist for their work. For example, the Medici Family was one of those, they were a famous family from Florence who ruled and supported of the arts. Lorenzo the Magnificent, a famous member of it, is well-known for sponsoring Italian artists such as Michelangelo and Botticelli.
Hernan Cortes (1485-1547) was a Spanish colonizer and conqueror, who leaded the conquest of the Mexican territories, that started in 1519 with the occupation of Veracruz. The tales about the sacking of the Mexican capital, Tenochtitlan, are still legendary nowadays.
After the takeover of Veracruz, Cortes gave the order of sinking his own ships (it was thought they were burnt, but nowadays that hypothesis is being questioned). Anyway, he destroyed his ships on purpouse to force his men to go forward and conquer the New World, both in the militar and spiritual (goal of spreading the Christian religion) dimensions.
- Agreement with his decision: of course it is an incredibly effective manner of ensuring that his men would be motivated to conquer the territory, mainly because they did not have an alternative choice. They had to become rulers there or be lost in the middle of unknown lands. It can be claimed how the ultimate goal justifies the means.
- Disagreement with the decision: it can be argued how unethical is that he prevented his men from deciding if they wanted to participate or not on the mission. He eliminated the choice.
