Robespierre and The Reign Of Terror

"The Reign of Terror" was when the kings, queens, and jack lost their power and the people that took that power did not put it to a good use. The people set up the limited monarch and limited the power the royals had. With no one really in charge street gangs started to act like government officals. One gang called the Jacobins wanted to remove anyone that was related to the royal family or opposed them. They used an execution machine called the guillotine, they used this machine to killed the ones that believed differently than them. They also had the head of the king cut off in public. Robespierre was one of the people that believed that there should be no trace of the royal family. He changed everything like the calender and the days in the weeks because he believed that sunday was was a day about old religion. His ruling over france was called "The Reign of Terror". He was cutting of everyone's head and the people grew tired of this. The people used the way he execution and killed him.

The French Revolution

1)a.the nobility- they had complete control over the peasants. They were allowed to tax them as much as they want.
b. The clergy- they had as much power over taxes as the nobles and the lives of the peasants.
c. The peasants- The had control of nothing, they were always taxed unfairly

2)A peasant might have grumbled about how his life is so terrible and how everything is not fair to him because hes not a royal.

3)The cartoonist is making the point that the peasant was the work horse of the nobles and feudal lords and how he was the ones carrying all the burden of the people above him.

4)They describe it as being taxed for everything and having to pay taxes to feudal lords and then had to pay the king's tax

5)Yes it does because it shows how the life of a peasant had very hard times while the nobles get lots of money that were not able to be taxed because of their ranks.

6)We the United States because now we do believe that and we fight for other people to protect that right, but we would not have agreed with these statements during the birth of our democracy.

7)I think the only reason it was banned because the leaders would not want their subjects to listen to a phrase that will change their whole way of thinking and cause a revolt against the lords. The people who most likely banned this was the people with the higher ranks.

John Locke and "The Enlightenment"

In our modern democracy we use the words of the people who came before us. We use the knowledge they left for us in the Declaration of Independence. In these we describe the rights given to us and the natural rights all men should have. These words come with so much wisdom and this were the original teachings of John Locke. The rights that were given to us because we are humans are the rights for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These rights are ones that should always be available for all men no matter the condition. In the Declaration of Independence the document that was built upon of the words of John Locke says that the power of the government are ones that the people give them. The people are the ones that decide the appointed officials. We give the power to the government.

Copernicus and the trial of Galileo

The scientific revolution brought up a lot of question to old facts. One important statement that was challenged was that the earth is in the center of the universe. This statement was first introduced by the church, more sepecificly Pope Urban. He came up with this statment with the scriptures of the church. A few people really disagreed with this statment. They beleived that the sun was the center of the universe and the earth rotated around the sun every year. Copernicus introduced this idea and shared his idea by publishing a book about his theory. Galileo started to believe this theory and sent a letter to a german mathamatician named Johannes Kepler.

The Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

When have you have a question that needs an answer you reason and try to find the answer. The only way that you would know that your answer is fact is that you would prove it. The way people proved it was through mutiple experiments. In ancient greek the way they would figure out that something was true, was asking someone else. They would just accept the fact that was told to them. As time progressed people started to question more everyday things. Then scientist used a method to prove the facts that were once stated in the past.
This method is a way you make a statement a true fact. The way you try this method is observe and analize any data that was found. After analizing the data make a hypothesis out of the analized data. When you belive in a hypothesis you start testing this theory with mutiple experiments. After these experments are through you make a scientific theory.
An example of this method in work is when a person conducts an simple experiment to see if sunlight really affects plant life. A person would make a hypothesis and test it mulitple times so that it has consistant results. Then after you gather the data from the experiment you make a scientific theory regarding all the trials done.

Evolution vs. Creation

Evolution is a theory that is used to describe the advancement in the DNA of species in the world. Over time it is told that a simple ancestor has evolved over time to a more complex species. This evolution is done to help a species survive better. Like species evolving to get wings and learning to fly. This advantage makes them superior to other animals in this way. This helps them survive better and the species that did not evolve will soon die out due to natural selection.
Creation is the theory of a higher power creating all life on earth. This is a religious belief that is acknowledged by many religions. This belief shows that every living thing is a direct creation from a higher power (God). Then after there was a global floods that shaped the earth. As science started to effect the belief of many believers, you start to see a change in the religion. The oldest belief of creation, believes that the world is 10,000 years old but then after science gave the earth an official age, believers of creationism adopted that as the official date.
I believe in creationism. For many reason but main one is that I grew up learning and practicing the religion, Roman Catholic. After sometime pass I start to realize that this is what I believe. I think that what you do in this life will decide what happens to you in the afterlife. I rather not believe that when you die nothing happens.
