Use the following excerpt below from Voltaire's A Treatise on Tolerance (1763) to answer the following question:

When Bishop Alexander and Arius the priest began first to dispute in what manner the Logos proceeded from the Father, the Emperor Constantine wrote to them in the following words…: "You are great fools to dispute about things you can not understand."

If the two contending parties had been wise enough to agree that the emperor was right, Christendom would not have been drenched in blood for three hundred years.

Suppose a historian wanted to argue that the Enlightenment had a more positive influence on the American Revolution than on the French Revolution. Which statement below would be the strongest evidence for the historian's view?

The French Revolution overthrew a monarchy and a social system, while the American Revolution only freed a group of colonies.

The American Revolution was led by men who admired Enlightenment thought, such as Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin.

The American Revolution produced a Declaration of Independence, while the French Revolution produced a Declaration of the Rights of Man.

In the French Revolution, the will of the people turned away from justice and toward mob violence, fanaticism, and dictatorship.

Answer 17

Answer 18

Either B or D ! B seems like the most logical to me. A C & D all compare the outcomes the of the American & French Revolutions, but neither of them reference the Enlightenment. B clearly shows that Americans were influenced by the Enlightenment, which is what the question asks. As long as you have evidence to back up your choice, you aren't really "wrong" though since it's more of an opinion question. While I think B is the best, I can think of some good evidence to back up D as well. So just pick the one YOU think makes the most sense and come up with a reason or two why you believe it is the best, and you won't be wrong.

Why did constitutional monarchy develop in England while absolute monarchy continued in Russia?

Russia was less economically developed than England and relied on a strong monarch to address the nation’s issues.

Russian monarchs like Peter the Great increased the power of the nobility, while English monarchs like Elizabeth I refused to consult with the English Parliament.

Russian monarchs deeply resented the intrusion of religious authorities into affairs of state, while English monarchs believed they owed allegiance to the head of the Church.

Russia thrived economically under absolute monarchs, while England relied on Parliament to rebuild after the English Civil War.

Use the excerpt below from the English Bill of Rights to answer the following question:

"That the pretended power of suspending the laws or the execution of laws by regal authority without consent of Parliament is illegal;

That the pretended power of dispensing with laws or the execution of laws by regal authority, as it hath been assumed and exercised of late, is illegal;

That the commission for erecting the late Court of Commissioners for Ecclesiastical Causes, and all other commissions and courts of like nature, are illegal and pernicious;

That levying money for or to the use of the Crown by pretence of prerogative, without grant of Parliament, for longer time, or in other manner than the same is or shall be granted, is illegal;

That it is the right of the subjects to petition the king, and all commitments and prosecutions for such petitioning are illegal;

That the raising or keeping a standing army within the kingdom in time of peace, unless it be with consent of Parliament, is against law…"
Public Domain

How did the English Bill of Rights represent a change from the existing political trends in 17th century Europe?

It limited royal power and made Parliament the supreme authority.

Most other governments didn't codify and publish laws.

It was issued by the king of England to limit his own power.

It mentioned government authority regarding religion.
