Answer:
Enlightenment thinkers promoted the idea of the rights of citizens and the people's authority to create--and to change--their own governments. The works of Enlightenment philosophers such as John Locke, Baron de Montesquieu, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau were read by leaders of the revolution movements in America and in France. The American and French Revolutions sought to put those Enlightenment ideas into practice in creating new governments based on liberty and justice for all, and on the rights of man and of citizens.
Further explanation:
As an example of one Enlightenment philosopher's political thoughts that influenced the revolutions, let's look at John Locke. According to Locke's view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed. This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler. Locke repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his <em>First Treatise on Civil Government</em>. In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government,</em> Locke argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting their own life, liberty, and property.
The American founding fathers read Locke (as well as other Enlightenment writers like Montesquieu and Rousseau). The American Revolution (1775-1783) was inspired by these ideas.
The French Revolution (1789-1799) also took cues from the political philosophy of John Locke and Montesquieu--and especially also Rousseau--overthrowing the unwanted monarchy of Louis XVI.

Answer:
The correct answer is C. Francisco Vázquez de Coronado planned to search for Cíbola by relying on Friar Marcos de Niza to be his guide.
Explanation:
Cibola was a legendary city that was believed to be located somewhere in the American southwest. According to tradition it possessed unprecedented wealth.
As the Spaniards began to discover the New World, the idea arose that the city of Cibola might be located on this continent. In 1527, an expedition by the Spanish explorer Pánfilo de Narváez was shipwrecked off the coast of modern-day Texas. Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca was one of the few survivors, who said they had heard the Indians talk about cities of enormous wealth.
Cibola has also been described by Marcos de Niza, a Franciscan monk, who claimed to have seen one of the cities from a distance on a journey of discovery.
In 1540, an expedition of the Spanish explorer Francisco Vásquez de Coronado set out to discover these seven cities and seize the alleged riches. However, the journey turned into a disappointment and many of the expedition members died along the way.
