Homework #8
CLARIFYING:
According to Hobbes, why would people want to live under the rule of an absolute monarch?
Because the people felt like they need someone to be in charge and keep structure to get things done and also they would have order
SKILL BUILDER:
1. What important documents reflect the influence of Enlightenment ideas?
The Declaration Of Independence And The Bill Of Rights
2. In your opinion, which are the two most important Enlightenment ideas? Support your answer with reasons.
I think women's rights and freedom of expression are the most important. Women's rights is important is because people always claim everyone was equal women weren't always treated equal as men are but with the women's rights they are finally treated equal. Also freedom of expression is important because everone needs to express themselves if not we would all be the same and nothing would get accomplished.
TERMS & NAMES
- Enlightenment
A new movement that was paved from the ideas of the Scientific Revolution.
- Social Contract
When people gave up their rights to a powerful ruler in exchange they gained law and order, control over the government.
- John Locke
A philosopher who had a more positive view on human nature.
- Natural Rights
Life, Liberty, and Property. The three things everyone is born with.
- Philosophes
Social critics of France during the time of the Enlightenment.
- Voltaire
François Marie Arouet's pseudonym
- Montesquieu
A French writer who spent his studies on Political Liberty
- Separation of Powers
The division of powers among different branches
- Jean Jacques Rousseau
A french philosopher that was passionately committed to individual freedom.
- Mary Wollstonecraft
A woman who stood up for women's right's.
SYNTHESIZING:
"Power should be a check to power." - Baron de Montesquieu
This quote means that one branch should check in with one branch to see if there power is equal. One branch shouldn't be over powering another branch. There would be no balance and equality which is an idea of the enlightenment.
“Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.” -Jean Jacques Rousseau
This quote means that everyone is born free but do to society and laws you are imprisoned to act like how people of high power want you to act as if you are then little minions doing as they please.

Homework #5
Question 1:
Scientific Revolution - A new aspect on how the natural world is viewed by observation and the will power to question beliefs.
Nicolaus Copernicus - A brave man who questioned the geocentric theory. He believed the sun was still and center of the universe but based on the geocentric theory it wasn't. Nicolaus studied planetary movements for 25 years and he turned out correct. The sun does sit still in the center of the universe and he created his own theory. The heliocentric theory.
Heliocentric Theory - A theory created by Nicolaus Copernicus. The Heliocentric theory was a theory that was based on believing that the sun was at the center of the universe and planets rotated around it.
Johannes Kepler - He followed up on Tycho Brahe's work. He researched all his data and came up with a mathematical system that backs up how planetary motion occurs.
Galileo Galilei - A 17-year-old italian boy who in 1581 discovered an astonishing discovery. The discovery of the law of the pendulum. He did so by watching a chandelier swing on a chain. While he was gazing he remembered Aristotle said "That a pendulum swings at a slower rhythm as it approaches its resting place". Galileo had doubts after concentrating on the swinging chandelier. Galileo timed the chandilers swings by using his own beating pulse. He then discovered Aristotle was wrong. Galileo discovered the pendulum did not slow down in speed it had the same constant pace. Thus creating Galileo's "The Law of the Pendulum" discovery.
Scientific Method - A series of steps used to figure out problems (They don't necessarily have to involve science) also for gathering and testing new ideas. There are 5 steps to this method.
Rene Descartes - Made analytical geometry which connect algebra and geometry together. This was an essential new tool for scientific research.
Isaac Newton - Brought together other theory's by making his own theory of motion. His theory was that all physical objects were affected equally by the same forces. Isaac discovered that the same forces ruled the motions of the planet (this helped Nicolaus Copernicus's theory) , The Pendulum ( this helped Galileo Galilei's theory) , and all matter on earth and space. He also pointed out the flaws in Aristotle's theory making his irrelevant.
Question 2:
1. There were no good explanations backing up statements made about nature,space,and other things. This made people curious and started thinking of their on explanations or creating their own theory's.
2. People started to use math as a tool for good things. Meaning they started experimenting all the things you can figure out with math. This made some people discover there are somethings you can't do with math and made them curious as to why.
3. One's in general curiosity.
4. Some people looked beyond then Focus of "Man" in paintings and started appreciating the smaller things in the background.
5. the New inventions gave some people more reasons to get into to research and study certain scientific theory's to see if they were true.

- Make a hypothesis
- Go through the Procedure (Your hypothesis)
- Get your results
- Make a conclusion
- Repeat the experiment

Homework #4
The Canon law also known as the law of the Church, only when involving marriage and religious practices, was a system of justice specifically to handle the punishments and praises of the people. The Church was very serious about this law and established courts to trial whom ever decided to disregard it, also they came up with harsh punishments to go along with the violators. Punishments were along the lines of interdiction, meaning they were forbidden and banished from the church, and excommunication, meaning you were ignored. For example, if a king were to break the Canon law he would receive the punishment of excommunication. He ( the king ) would be denied salvation, meaning he would no longer be protect from harm by God. Also if a king were to disobey the Canon law his peasants, servants, and staff would be taken away from him. If the king STILL didn't follow the Canon law he would then be punished with interdiction by the pope as well.
