What forced europeans to look for other routes east? land routes were closed off by ottoman turks. europeans were conquered by ottoman turks. europeans lost interest in eastern products. land routes no longer led to needed goods.

the ancient greek people valued the "country's laws" and expected citizens to show "respect" to such laws. however, the people valued divine authority above human authority and expected their leaders to honor the gods through their laws. they believed that those who respected the gods and ruled according to divine authority would obtain "high honors" by the people.

hope this : )
