I agree with your first two answers. #3 ??? The Glorious Revolution in 1688 had more to do with the establishment of Catholicism as the national religion, didn't it? What prompted the English Civil War(s) in 1642-51?
Religion?? numerous individuals needed more freedom of worship , as opposed to endure the state-sorted out system.
It would be The english civil war??
Declaration of Independence was in 1776.
French revoultion lasted from 1789 until 1799,
Yes, you're right about the Glorious Revolution. King James II said he was all for freedom of religion, but he was a Catholic and his infant son would be heir and a Catholic. People did not want a Catholic monarch at that point. Charles I, however, was paying no attention to Parliament, thumbing his nose at them, so there was Civil War and Charles lost his head. When his son, Charles II, was restored, it was clear that Parliament was to have a strong voice. So, I'd say it's the Civil War(s) that advanced the concept of constitutional monarchy. I don't know what your text says, though.
thanks
To answer the questions:
1. Reliance on secular thinking as opposed to decisions based on religion developed as a result of:
a. the Scientific Revolution
b. the French Revolution
c. the Great Schism
d. the Russian Revolution
To answer this question, we need to understand the historical context and the impact of each event mentioned.
a. The Scientific Revolution (14th - 17th centuries) was a period of major advancements in science, where a new emphasis on observation, experimentation, and reason emerged. This led to a shift in thinking away from traditional religious beliefs and towards a reliance on empirical evidence and logical reasoning.
b. The French Revolution (1789-1799) was a period of political and social upheaval in France, during which the French monarchy was overthrown. The revolution was influenced by Enlightenment ideas, which emphasized reason, individual rights, and the separation of church and state. This led to a decrease in the influence of religion in political decision-making.
c. The Great Schism (1378-1417) was a split within the Catholic Church, resulting in two or more competing Popes at different times. This event was primarily a religious conflict and did not directly lead to a reliance on secular thinking.
d. The Russian Revolution (1917) resulted in the establishment of a communist state, which advocated for atheism and promoted a secular ideology. However, this revolution occurred much later and is less directly related to the development of reliance on secular thinking compared to the other options.
From the options provided, the most probable answer is a. the Scientific Revolution. This was a time when scientific discoveries and advancements challenged religious dogma and ushered in a new era of relying on rationality and evidence-based thinking.
2. The idea of a constitutional monarchy may be found in each of the following EXCEPT:
a. the Glorious Revolution
b. the Magna Carta
c. writings of John Locke
d. Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan
To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of a constitutional monarchy and the historical context of each option.
A constitutional monarchy is a form of government where a monarch serves as the head of state within the parameters of a constitution, which outlines the rights and responsibilities of both the monarch and the people.
a. The Glorious Revolution (1688) was a peaceful overthrow of King James II of England, which led to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. This event directly relates to the idea of constitutional monarchy.
b. The Magna Carta (1215) was a document that limited the powers of the English monarchy and established certain rights for the nobility. While it laid the foundation for limited government and the rule of law, it did not establish the idea of a constitutional monarchy explicitly.
c. John Locke, an influential Enlightenment thinker, advocated for limited government and the consent of the governed. His writings, such as "Two Treatises of Government" (1689), influenced the development of constitutional monarchy. This option supports the idea of a constitutional monarchy.
d. Thomas Hobbes' book "Leviathan" (1651) argued for a strong central authority and a social contract between the ruler and the people. While it laid the groundwork for modern political theory, it does not explicitly advocate for the idea of a constitutional monarchy.
Based on the options provided, the answer is d. Thomas Hobbes, Leviathan. Thomas Hobbes' ideas do not align with the concept of a constitutional monarchy as defined earlier.
3. Between 1215 A.D. and 1688, which event took place in the development of democratic-republican government?
A. Declaration of Independence
B. The French Revolution
C. The English Civil War
D. The Glorious Revolution
To answer this question, we need to consider the historical events during the specified timeframe and their impact on the development of democratic-republican government.
A. The Declaration of Independence (1776) was a pivotal moment in American history, but it falls outside the specified timeframe of 1215 to 1688. Therefore, it is not the correct answer.
B. The French Revolution (1789-1799) also falls outside the specified timeframe and is therefore not the correct answer.
C. The English Civil War (1642-1651) was a conflict between the monarchy and Parliament in England, which had significant implications for the development of democratic-republican government. The war resulted in the overthrow of the monarchy and the temporary establishment of a republican government led by Oliver Cromwell. This option aligns with the timeframe and the development of democratic-republican government.
D. The Glorious Revolution (1688) was a peaceful overthrow of King James II of England, which resulted in the establishment of a constitutional monarchy and the recognition of Parliament's supremacy. While it did not establish a democratic-republican government in the same way as the English Civil War, it contributed to the development of limited government and parliamentary sovereignty. This option is also correct.
Both options C. The English Civil War and D. The Glorious Revolution took place within the specified timeframe and played significant roles in the development of democratic-republican government. Therefore, the correct answer is D. The Glorious Revolution.
