Review1) Religious Influence: Ppl’s
lives hard, but were attracted by promise of an after life.
Divine Right: King/Queens claimed authority from God
Catholicism: Heavy in France and Italy
Church of England (aka Anglican+Episcopalian)
Church/clergy powerful b/c land + donations (tithes).
Clergy
2) Feudalism: Kings couldn’t protect the ppl, so king would give land to nobles (lords), lords lend land to serfs (farmers) to work. Serfs pay lords, lords pay king.
3) Serfs: Bound to land, no improving their lives.
Serfs
4) English French Wars: Fight over religion + power. Kings needs money from nobles. Nobles demand King to give lords power in exchange.
5) Magna Carta (1215): King of England oppressed nobles, nobles revolted + forced king to limit his power. First time king’s power limited by written document.
“No freeman shall be taken, imprisoned,...or in any other way destroyed...except by the lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land. To no one will we sell, to none will we deny or delay, right or justice.”
-Magna Carta
6) Model Parliament (1295): King found easiest way to raise taxes was to get people in one place.
House of Lords:Nobles and Clergy(more power)House of Commons:Middle Class
7) Petition of Right (1628): Parliament forces king to get their permission to raises taxes.
King
8) English Civil War(1642): King tried to close parliament. Nobles fought back under Oliver Cromwell. Nobles won, created a puritan republic.
9) Glorious Revolution (1688): After years of chaos, nobles
peacefully reinstated a king in William and Mary, once they promise to sign the English Bill of Rights.
Nobility
10) English Bill of Rights (1689): Repeats some of early docs (trials and say in taxes), but added right free speech in parliament, to bear arms, no cruel and unusual punishment, and no Catholic king.
US Bill of Rights (1789)copies this.
Review
King Total Power (Divine Rule)
Wars w France Cost $
Nobles Pay for War
Nobles Get Power from King
Review
Manga Carta (1215)
Nobles get right to jury in crimes.
English Petition of Rights (1628)
King must get nobles consent before being taxed.
English Bill of Rights (1689)
King must protect nobles right to freedom of speech, arms, and
from cruel & punishment.
England’s monarchs slowly lose power to the nobles. This is ONLY in England, in the rest of Europe, the monarchs were still absolute.

Notes #6, Title: “Enlightenment” 1) Ancien Régime: Nobles gain power
in UK (spreading to mid. class), monarchs still strongly in power in Eur (middle class no power).
2) Renaissance (1400-1600): Rebirth of Greek + Roman ideas spark innovation.
3) Enlightenment (Age of Reasoning, 1600-1800): Start of Modern Era when reasoning/logic was widely applied all things. To discover natural solutions. FAITH THAT HUMANS THROUGH REASONING CAN MAKE LIFE BETTER.
Why in the 1600s?1) Basic Enlightenment Ideas Always There:
The ancient writings of the Greeks were copied by Christian monks and Muslim scholars. Renaissance rekindles Greek and Roman ideas.
2) Centuries of War: Wars over religion (split between Catholic rulers and Protestant Rulers) pushed people to seek non religious answers.
3) Feudalism Unfair: King, church, and nobles enjoy the current power structure, but middle class and poor begin to question.
Notes #6, Title: “Enlightenment” 4) Scientific Revolution: Scientist like Galileo,
Bacon, Newton first to thoroughly use reason.5) Political Revolution: Philosophers like Locke,
Jefferson, & Paine use reason to question gov. Gov should serve the ppl, not divine rule (US Rev: 1774, FR Rev: 1789)
Scientific Method
Diderot's Encyclopedia
Notes #6, Title: “Enlightenment
Notes” 6) Locke (1632): People born
with rights (natural rights). Ppl exchange obedience for protection of these rights (social contract).
7) Rousseau (1712): Ppl born free, but old govs oppress people. Ppl better off free. The will of the majority should rule. Ppl should obey the common good (what’s good for the majority).
Notes #6, Title: “Enlightenment Notes” 8) Social Contract: You exchange
obedience to the gov for protection (K=contract).
“A man…having in the state of nature no arbitrary power over the life liberty or possession of another but …can give up to the commonwealth and by it to the legislative power so that the legislative can have no more than this.”
-John Locke
“All men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men.”-Thomas Jefferson
Notes #6, Title: “Enlightenment Notes” 9) Montesquieu (1689): Power corrupts, so gov
should split power in 3 branches: Legislative: Make the lawExecutive: Put the law in actionJudicial: Decide the law
Notes #6, Title: “Enlightenment Notes” 10) Voltaire (1694): Freedom (esp speech) above
all must be protected so reason can solve our problems.
Hobbes (1588): State of nature so bad, even a dictator (monarch) is better.
EnglishCivil War1641–1651
Hobbes’ Leviathan (1660)
Whatsoever therefore is consequent to a time of war, where every man is enemy to every man, the same consequent to the time wherein men live without other security than what their own strength ... In such condition there is no place for industry, because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth... worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.
SALONS (Living Rooms):Back then, gov controlled by monarchies, and universities controlled by churches were scared of new ideas. So wealthy women opened their living rooms (salons) to intellectuals. Madame Geoffrin’s Salons:
