He believed this because he was a political writer and aristocrat who was born into these beliefs (7 pov). King Louis XIV wanted his people to follow the Catholic faith and do away with the Protestant religion; he revoked the Edict of Nantes. He forbid the exercise of the Protestant religion in any place or private house (8). All of these people go together because they had the same mind set on keeping the religion in one's state the same. Secondly, Kings and Priests in some states allowed some freedom but with limitations also in their states/cities.
Thus leaving American’s to become conspirious about the truths of war and ethics in the Federal Government. In my opinion the arguments made against the government’s way they misled the public were true and interesting. The government having not told Tillman’s family the truth up front I believe was a cowardly thing to do. The way the Bush administration portrayed him out to be a hero, in which I believe he was, he shouldn’t have been made out to be more heroic than any one of his fellow soldiers. Just because Tillman was a NFL football player shouldn’t have given him any more starlight than other soldier who also gave up their lives to fight for this country.
Charles was described as having ‘grown into a fine gentleman’. King Charles believed that he was appointed by God to be an absolute ruler and this led him to his execution. Besides, the disagreement and the lack of willingness to cooperate with the Parliament had led to civil war. The other issue is that King Charles I inability to recognise and understand the people had led him to his execution on 1649. With a profound belief that King were appointed by God to rule by Divine Right, Charles succeeded as the second Stuart King in 1625.
In this article we will be assessing whether Oliver Cromwell was a hero or a villain. In my opinion I think Oliver Cromwell was a villain. For an example he made sure that King Charles didn’t have enough votes in order not to go to trial, as he realised once King Charles was on trial, he would definitely be executed. My first point to prove Cromwell was a villain is when he closed parliament. The Independents had a strong following in the parliamentary army and had the support of Oliver Cromwell.
ANDREW FRANCIS Why did power cause the civil war? Charles believed in the Divine Right of Kings - he was king because God wanted him to be, and therefore everyone should obey him as they would God,without question. Further, because God wanted Charles as king, then no earthly power could challenge this power,or remove the king from his position. Charles therefore believed that,as king, he had supreme political power. Parliament believed that,as the elected representatives of the People (albeit on a very narrow franchise),that they had the right to wield supreme political power.
Raymond Patricio Mr. Crosby English 1 3 May. 2010 Retribution in Elizabethan England “Those who break the sceptres of the law deserve no pity.” (Queen Elizabeth 1st). “There was many ruling monarchs during the Elizabethan period, and the majority of them strictly believed in extreme punishment for crime in order to run a peaceful country or town etc.” (Elgin 27). Extreme punishment was believed to keep order in a country because they thought that if punishment was horrific people wouldn’t commit the crimes they would want because they knew how the consequences would result in. Elizabethan England was split into two classes- The Upper Class, the nobility and courtiers, and everyone else.
The most widely area of criticism that Lincoln received was his use of unconventional and sometimes illegal methods in order to achieve his goals. Lincoln justified ignoring the process of going through congress to make such decisions in that he felt the war needed immediate and direct decisions and did not have time to go through the process for congress’ approval. The criticism appears to be fair as they come from a variety of different groups from the democrats and Lincoln’s unjust ways of handling the war as well as his own party, the Republicans for his handling of the south. In assessment of Abraham Lincoln’s tenure as president and handling of the civil war tragedy, it can be determined that although heavily criticized by his peers the civil war would not have been the “civil war” without him. The inevitability of the civil war came to light when Lincoln was elected President and indirectly caused the civil war to start.
Democrat Stephen A. Douglas Abraham Lincoln had won the election and the south was furious because they knew that Abe favored the North and wanted to abolish slavery so many of the states started to secede(Britannica Encyclopedia). So Abraham Lincoln knew that as much as he wanted to get rid of slavery he could not get rid of it completely it would make things worse and those south sates that took side with the union would of left so he had to please the north and the south so he did what he could do. All Abraham Lincoln wanted was for the confederate states to come back to the union to bring them back in so he promised that does states in rebellion in secession slavery would be banned from them if they did not return to the union many states did not listen because they had built their own government already. And did not want to lose their rights of having slaves because they dependent on them a lot for their plantations of cotton and without them they would lose their workers and money. The union was fighting for the freedom of slaves and to bring back the union to be united as one.
Simony was the buying and selling of anything considered spiritual (Miller 15). He believed that the appointments of church leaders by kings, in this case Henry IV, was an act of simony because the men that the kings were closest to were granted offices. Pope Gregory VII felt that this was a heresy in the church and the ability to appoint men to high positions should be stripped of the kings and emperors powers. During the reform, the holiness of kings was more directly attacked by the reformers who insisted that kings were only men, like all men (Miller 5) which helped Gregory VII find a backing for his revolt against the
The man who first rebelled against the Catholic Church was a man named Martin Luther. He did this by creating the 95 Thesis. Thesis number 32 states that “Those who believe that, through letters of pardon indulgences, they are made sure of their own salvation, will be eternally damned along with their teachers”. The 95 Thesis were reasonable and fair to all of England, unlike the Catholic Churches new rules. Henry VIII thought of the idea to challenge the church from Martin Luther.
