fears and continual dangers
just like the wealthy and nobility willing to pay to be safe because they know they are in danger due to their status. To be wealthy and have power mean they have to live in fear of other being jealous of them or hate them and try to harm them in someway.

All social relationships--between God and man, ministers and congregations, magistrates and members of their community, and men and their families--were envisioned in terms of a covenant or contract which rested on consent and mutual responsibilities.
isnt it still the same now? we do anything based on the contract. Just set phone and bank as examples dont we all have to sign some papers that state we agree to the term stated on the contract or somthing like that and there would be consequences of some sort if we break the contract agreement.

1.According to King Afonso, what have been the detrimental effects of the Portuguese presence in his kingdom? According to king Afonso, the Portygueses presence caused harm to the security and peace of the kingdoms and state, and to the service.
- What steps has he taken to deal with the problems caused by the Portuguese? King Afonso asked the other king assistance by commanding his factors to not send in anymore merchants and wares and no more than some priests and a few people to reach in schools, and no other goods except wine and flour for the holy sacrament.
3.Why is he appealing directly to the Portuguese king for aid? Because without the king's authority, the merchants would keep coming to cause problem in his kingdom.
4.Does King Afonso see the Portuguese presence in his kingdom as a right or a privilege? At first i think King Afonso thought that the Portuguese presence was a right because they helped his kingdom by providing goods but later on those merchants took advantage of that to practice slavery.
5.How does King Afonso distinguish legitimate and illegitimate trade in slaves? King Afonso once said to the king that there shouldnt be any trade of slaves, so to him slavery was not welcome in his kingdom.
6.What elements of Portuguese culture does he welcome? Why? King Afonso welcome and asked for Portuguese medical advancement, because his people wre suffering from diseases that couldnt be cure by his kingdom's medical team but he believed Portuguese had what it took to help find the cure.
