Question

Which is NOT an example of ideas from the Scientific Revolution being applied to the social world during the Enlightenment?

A. Franklin believed in using reason to solve social problems and established libraries and fire departments for the good of all.

B. Montesquieu argued that government powers should be separated in order to protect people's rights.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Hard to believe that Oliver Cromwell could be associated with the Scientific Revolution in any way :-) My off-the-cuff guess is C, but I don't have time at the moment to check more carefully.

Answer 3

I thought it was C too! Thanks :)
Check one more? I think I got it solved, but check anyways?

Answer 4

Which is not one of John Locke's beliefs?

A. The major job of government is to protect people's rights.

B. People always owe governments their loyalty and obedience.

C. If government does not work for the common good, people have the natural right to establish a new one.

D. All people are born with natural rights including life, liberty, and property.

Answer 5

I believe its B?

Answer 6

Or maybe it would be A if "Montesquieu argued that government powers should be separated in order to protect people's rights. "

Answer 8

@fantasiablueskys

Answer 9

Second question: B and C cannot both be true. B doesn't sound like Locke.

Answer 10

So, for the second one, B?
How about the first one, @wwhitlock ?

Answer 11

Yeah, I don't have an opinion about this one.

Answer 12

So, first one C, and second is B?

Answer 13

Answer 21

This one:

Which statements about the African slave trade of the 1500s are accurate?
Choose all answers that are correct.

A. The transatlantic slave trade began when merchants from France bought slaves from the king of Songhai.

B. The slave trade began to grow rapidly when the Portuguese started growing sugar cane in Brazil.

C. The triangular trade between Europe, Africa, and the Americas, known as the Middle Passage, saw millions of Africans transported in terrible conditions.

D. The Portuguese continued the trans-Saharan transportation of slaves to the Muslim world into the 1600s.

Answer 22

Choose all answers that are correct must be meaning their are more than one answer. Right?

Answer 23

A would not seem to be correct, as Songhai was in Africa, and I wouldn't consider that transatlantic.

B. the Portuguese were big slave users in Brazil, something like 1/3 of all captured Africans went to Brazil, more than went to the US.

C. yes, the triangular trade was miserable, and several million Africans died in transit

D. I think the Portuguese dispensed with the trek across the Sahara and went by ship to central Africa instead.

As always, this answer may well be worth about as much as you paid for it :-)

Answer 24

Yes, @BellaNina865

Answer 25

@whpalmer4 , I know A is wrong, and I thought that it was B and C, correct? D is wrong

Answer 26

Answer 28

@whpalmer4 can you check this one?

Why did the Spanish and Portuguese explore?

A. to find sources of oil
B. to compete with the larger English and German empires
C. to spread the ideals of democracy
D. to enlarge their empires by claiming new lands

I think its D, not 100% sure though!

Answer 29

And if you can @whpalmer4 , this one?

Why did fifteenth-century Europeans search for a sea route to Asia?
Choose ALL answers that are correct.

A. Bandits made overland travel too dangerous for Europeans.
B. European nations needed a place to send their excess populations.
C. Europeans wanted goods such as pearls and silk that could only be obtained in Asia.
D. Many Europeans had read about Asia and wanted to travel there.

Answer 30

I agree with D for the Spanish and Portuguese exploration. I can't check the last one because you didn't give me an answer to check :-)

Answer 31

Oh, sorry @whpalmer4. But I'm not sure about the last one.
I guess B, and maybe C..? O.O

Answer 32

Btw, could you see my question in the "Literature" group? I just need explanation :-)

Answer 33

I'm not sure any European nations had excess populations yet in the 15th century. I think A and C are the most likely; C for sure, and the land routes across Afghanistan have always been troubled by bandits, I think.

Haven't read the book, can't explain it.

Answer 34

Alright, thanks!
I'll try and double check somehow :/
