Question

during the renaissance, applying humanist ideas to government meant that people began to
support government more.
support government less.
debate about government.
hold elections for government.

Explanation:

During the Renaissance, humanist ideas emphasized the value of human thought, reason, and individual perspective. Applying these to government would lead people to start questioning and discussing government policies, structures, etc., rather than just passively supporting or immediately moving to elections (which weren't a common Renaissance governance feature). So the idea of debating about government aligns with humanist encouragement of critical thinking and engagement with governance.

Answer:

C. debate about government.
