History

Gennadij [26K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

They challenged the Church for practices that gave the Church too much power over the people.

They raised questions about human rights and advocated political and economic theories.

Explanation:

Enlightenment philosophers were revolutionary thinkers at the time, who questioned the status quo of their era. During this era, the church had a lot of power, and Enlightenment philosophers questioned this power. They also questioned the power of absolute monarchs, deeming absolute monarchy to be against their ideas about human society, democracy and individual rights.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Correct answers are:

Using improved technology.

Paying high prices in gold.

Introducing Christian missionaries.

Explanation:

Portuguese explores used many technological improvements from the period, including compass, caravels and many others that enabled them to sail easier.

They paid large amounts of money in gold because the spices they were buying were rare and highly appreciated in Europe.

They were not able to defeat the Ottomans, and in general Portugal didn't have quarrels with this country.

Portugal is actually the first country that reached Asia by sea - Vasco de Gama did it.

A lot of missionaries came to this region straight after de Gama discovered the sea route to India.

What are some grievances that the colonists express in the declaration of independence
salantis [7]

In the <em>Declaration of Independence</em>, Thomas Jefferson expressed various grievances of the colonists against the British, such as:

  • The king refused to assent to laws that were wholesome and necessary for the public good.
  • The king had forbidden colonial governors to enact laws or implement laws without his assent (which, as the prior point noted, he was in no hurry to give).
  • The king forced people to give up their rights to legislative assembly or forced legislative bodies to meet in difficult places that imposed hardships on them.
  • The king dissolved legislative assemblies and then refused for a long time to have other assemblies elected.
  • The king obstructed justice in the colonies and made judges dependent on his will alone for their salaries and their tenure in office.
  • The king kept standing armies in place in the colonies in peacetime, without the consent of the colonial legislatures.
  • The king imposed taxes without the colonists' consent.

There were more items listed by Jefferson, but you get the idea.  He was justifying revolution by proving tyranny was standard operating procedure by the British monarchy.

Why did Hispanics in New Mexico retain more influence and political power than Hispanics in other parts of the American Southwes
frozen [14]

Answer: 83% of New Mexico's Hispanics were native-born and 17% foreign-born. Many Hispanics in New Mexico claim a Spanish ancestry, especially in the northern part of the state. These people are the descendants of Spanish-speaking colonists who arrived during the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, often referred to as Hispanos.Among the most important Hispanic cultural influence is the world of entertainment. Salsa, merengue, Latin rap, Latin songs and today, Reggaeton, consolidate a stable market not only for the Spanish natives but for the Americans as well.Large Hispanic populations in the southwestern U.S. can be traced to the Spanish exploration and settlement of the area nearly 500 years ago. In the 1500s, Spaniards explored present-day New Mexico, Arizona and parts of Colorado, lands that later became Spanish territories.The New Deal began to offer assistance to Hispanic Americans through its various relief and recovery programs. In particularly, the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and Works Progress Administration (WPA) hired unemployed Mexican Americans on relief jobs throughout the Southwest, both rural and urban.Aug. 12, 2021, at 4:57 p.m. SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico has retained its title as the nation's most heavily Hispanic state, with 47.7% of respondents to the 2020 census identifying ancestry linked to Latin America and other Spanish-speaking areas.
