Which marginalized groups of people did the great awakening empower?

The women, and slaves

Explanation:

The First Great Awakening or The Great Awakening was a Christian revitalization movement that spread throughout Protestant Europe and British America, and especially the American colonies in the 1730s and 1740s, leaving a permanent impact on the American religion. It was the result of powerful preaching that gave listeners a sense of personal revelation of their need for salvation through Jesus Christ. Departing from rituals and ceremonies, the Great Awakening comprises an intensely personal Christianity for the common person by fostering a deep sense of spiritual conviction and redemption, and by fostering introspection and the commitment to a new norm of morality personal.

Christianity was taken to African slaves and it was a monumental event in New England that challenged established authority. He incited resentment and division between the former traditionalists, who insisted on the importance of continuing the ritual and doctrine, and the new drivers of rebirth, which encouraged emotional involvement and personal commitment. It had an important impact on the remodeling of the Congregational Church, the Presbyterian Church, the Dutch Reformed Church and the reformed German church and the strengthening of Baptist and Methodist denominations.

social contract theory basically says that all individuals are born equal, and provided a god given right to consent to be governed. american government is based of this

thomas hobbes and john locke said that we are selfish, individualistic, and constantly at war with each other, therefore we need to be controlled. 

government is defined as the legitimate use of force to control human behavior within territorial boundaries, here comes in hobbes and locke.

hobbes takes the part about controlling human behavior. while locke takes the part of legitimate use of force, since force is not legitimate unless there is consent of the people. 

there are basically 3 goals of the government: 1) maintain order by protecting life and property. 2) providing public goods, those which are typically not provided by the public sector, such as roads and education. 3) promote equality be it political, opportunist or outcome equality. 

8 - (2a + 7) = a + 40     distribute/multiply - into (2a + 7)

8 - 2a - 7 = a + 40

1 - 2a = a + 40       add 2a on both sides

1 = 3a + 40         subtract 40 on both sides

-39 = 3a       divide 3 on both sides

-13 = a

[proof]

8 - (2a + 7) = a + 40

8 - (2(-13) + 7) = -13 + 40

8 - (-26 + 7) = 27

8 - (-19) = 27

8 + 19 = 27

27 = 27
