Which statement about the beliefs of Enlightenment philosophers is correct?
A
They believed that government decisions should be based on traditional cultural values.
B
They believed that government decisions should be based on the doctrine of divine right.
C
They believed that government decisions should be based on the guidance of religious leaders.
D
They believed that government decisions should be based on the laws of nature and reason.

D is correct.

Explanation: laws of reason are mere fictions. Philosophy of rights is dedicated to this issue but in its very fundaments there are fundamental questions that are still not answered (becase both laws of nature and laws of reason are products of human intellect, i.e. they cannot be experimentally proved. In spite of its fictitious nature, theese laws became one of the pillars of Enlightenment. French philophers, for example, attempted to ground ethics on mathematics which proved to be inviable.

when studying cause and effect, historians usually group the causes into different categories. for example, cultural causes reflect how a society’s literature and art convey the way the society saw itself in relation to the rest of the world. another resource that historians use to understand society is pop culture, which tells them the trends and ideas that are preferred by the common people. when studying cause and effect, it’s important to remember multiple causation, or the idea that an effect could have several causes and vice versa.  

the correct option is “cultural causes” since art and literature are related to the culture of a place. culture is determined by literature, art, music.

the correct option is “pop culture” since it reflects the likes and ideas of common people whereas the rest of the options do not focus on common people.  

the correct option is “multiple causation” since it refers to the idea that events are caused by multiple reasons, not just a single one.
