Question 1- Thomas Hobbes ideas expressed in "Leviathan" and John Locke's book "Two Treatises on Government".
Question 2- Natural rights- life, liberty,and property. independence is important to each humans lives. Religious freedom, each person should have the right to believe in whatever higher power they want to.
Page 556- Enlightenment- Age of Reason, next step from the Scientific Revolution.
Social Contract- agreement to give up rights to a strong ruler in exchange for order.
Natural rights- life, liberty, and property.
Philosophe- the social critics of the Enlightenment.
Voltaire- a philosophe and publisher of more than 70 books of political essays, philosophy, history, fiction and drama.
Montesquieu- man who simplified the ideas of the "separation of powers".
Separation of powers- division of power among different branches.
Jean Jacques Rousseau- thought that the only fair and equal form of government was a democracy.
Mary Wollstonecraft- believed that womens rights and education should be equal to mens and published "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman".
"Power should be a check to power"- Baron de Montesquieu, this means that each branch of power would serve as a check on each other branch of power. During the Enlightenment this phrase ment no branch would overpower the other.
"Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains."- Jean Jacques Rousseau, this mean that when people used to live free and equal as individuals but the when a stronger power was chosen to make laws freedom and equality was destroyed. This reflects on the Enlightenment because during this time an absolute monarch government was created.
"Let woman share the rights and she will emulate the virtues of men"- Mary Wollstonecraft, this means that once women have the equal rights and education they could have an educated opinion of the conflicts men of this time were discussing. This is reflected during the Enlightenment by the formation of the Woman's rights group in Europe and North America.

HW# 5
Question 1
1. Scientific revolution- Beginning in the mid 1500s, a new way of thinking of thinking about the natural world that was based on new scientific theories that challenged the church, along with new inventions.
2. Nicolas Corpernicus- A Polish cleric and astronomer that came up with the heliocentric theory and wrote a book, "On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies" that was made up of his findings.
3. Heliocentric theory- Theory that the stars and other planets revolved around the sun.
4. Johannes Kelper- Tycho Brahe's assistant who continued his work and concluded planets revolve around the sun in elliptical orbits instead of circles.
5. Galileo Galilei- Discovered the law of the pendulum, tested Aristotle's law on gravity and proved it wrong, wrote a series of newspapers called the "Starry Messenger" which was about his observations of the universe.
6. Scientific Method- A logical procedure for gathering and testing ideas.
7. Francis Bacon- An English politican and writer, that believed scientists should gather conclusions using the experimental method.
8. Rene Descartes- Developer of analytical geometry and relied on mathematics and logic for conclusions.
9. Issac Newton- An English scientist who also disapproved of Aristotle's conclusions, published his ideas that all physical objects were affected equally by the same forces, the same forces ruled the motions of the planets, the pendulum, and all matter on earth and in space in a work called "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy".

HW# 4
1) The Canon Law was a form of church justice that dealt with matters like marriage and religious practices. The church created a court to try presumed violators, excommunication and inverdict were two of the hardest punishments. Excommunication was used against political rulers, it banished them from the church and took away the king's vassels from there servitude to him. Inverdict denied religious services in the king's lands. Inverdict was a powerful tool for the pope against christain kings.
2) If a king were to violate the Canon Law he would have lost a form of ally. Religion was well relied on during this time that kings ruled, without the church on the king's side he would have been denied salvation. The king needed to be assured that they wouldnt become damned so they intrusted alot of belief in the church.
