question 2
(04.03 lc)
what was responsible for introducing new technologies and innovations to the people of the romantic period?
enlightenment thinkers
the industrial revolution
manifest destiny
the fourteenth amendment

Explanation:

1. Romantic authors valued individualism, nature, and American frontier experiences (like pioneer heroism and westward expansion). Religious conformity, which emphasizes adherence to established doctrine, directly conflicts with the Romantic focus on personal expression and non-conformity, so it was not an inspiration.
2. The Industrial Revolution (occurring during the Romantic period) brought widespread new technologies and innovations like steam power and factory systems. Enlightenment thinkers focused on philosophy and reason, Manifest Destiny was a political/ideological movement, and the 14th Amendment was a post-Civil War U.S. law, so none of these introduced the era's new technologies.

Answer:

1. B. Religious conformity
2. B. The Industrial Revolution
