The Enlightenment played a part in writing the Bill of Rights. The Bill of Rights limits what the government can do and it protects the rights of the people. The Enlightenment thinkers truly believed that the purpose of government was to protect basic human rights.

Answer:

It reflects on todays government because during the enlightenment period, they thought people were important to a government and higher numbers meant more results and power. They dominated the world of ideas, just like today where for example, our government comes up with new ideas and has power to do so and come out with the result they want.

Summarize the Supreme Court case plessy v. Ferguson?
Xelga [282]

Plessy v. Ferguson, case in which the U.S. Supreme Court, on May 18, 1896, by a seven-to-one majority (one justice did not participate), advanced the controversial “separate but equal” doctrine for assessing the constitutionality of racial segregationlaws. Plessy v. Ferguson was the first major inquiry into the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment’s (1868) equal-protection clause, which prohibits the states from denying “equal protection of the laws” to any person within their jurisdictions. Although the majority opinion did not contain the phrase “separate but equal,” it gave constitutionalsanction to laws designed to achieve racial segregation by means of separate and supposedly equal public facilities and services for African Americans and whites. It served as a controlling judicial precedent until it was overturned by the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954).

Zina [86]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

Mercantilism was an economic theory and practice used by Europeans in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries to increase the wealth of a nation or empire. This was done by acquiring gold and silver and maintaining a favorable balance of trade, in which a country exported more than it imported. Mercantilism encouraged European countries to colonize both the Americas and Africa under the promise of wealth and richness due to the many raw materials and natural resources that existed in the Americas and Africa.

European countries wanted to expand their wealth by exporting raw materials from colonies. Mercantilism motivated the Spanish crown, the British monarchy, and the French monarchy, among other nations, to found colonies to acquire resources and create markets for their goods.

Under the theory of mercantilism, colonies were allowed to trade only with the home country.

Mercantilism was the economic system that many European countries used in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. It is based on the accumulation of wealth by exporting goods and limit imports with the use of taxes.

How did political power in Japan shift between 794 and 1192 A.D?
defon

Explanation:

The Heian period (平安時代, Heian jidai) is the last division of classical Japanese history, running from 794 to 1185.[1] The period is named after the capital city of Heian-kyō, or modern Kyoto. It is the period in Japanese history when Buddhism, Daoism and other Chinese influences were at their height. The Heian period is also considered the peak of the Japanese imperial court and noted for its art, especially poetry and literature. Although the Imperial House of Japan had power on the surface, the real power was in the hands of the Fujiwara clan, a powerful aristocratic family who had intermarried with the imperial family. Many emperors actually had mothers from the Fujiwara family.[2] Heian (平安) means "peace" in Japanese
