In his speech before the National Convention, he claims the Church calendar to debase nations and persuades people that a new calendar is a must for every Frenchman. However, Romme is biased towards the production of a new calendar, clearly shown, because he is head of the calendar reform committee (Document 2). The “Institution Concerning the Era of the Republic and the Division of the Year” also supports the new calendar. This document not only looks at the calendar from an intellectual level, but also considers the economy. It claims a new calendar will soon be needed for commerce and the trades, and arts and history.
Between June 11th, and June 28th, of 1776 Thomas Jefferson wrote his manifesto, “The Declaration of Independence” (later enhanced by the eloquent, and skillful, changes that Bengermin Franklin and John Adams made), as a call for the American colonies to break free from English rule. It may seem strange that Jefferson wrote this as an appeal for solidarity from the British citizenry, he even went so far as to call the British people his “Brethren”, but is important to put
New ideas and beliefs spread through Europe and worldwide and marked a change from only having religious texts to also providing intellectual texts. John Locke, an English Enlightenment thinker, shared his views on society in his text Two Treatises on Government. He claimed that nobody should have more power than another and the people should live in state of equality (Doc 2). Up until this point, the church had all the authority but Locke provided insight that everyone should be equal. Baron de Montesquieu, a French Enlightenment thinker, said in his book The Spirit of Laws that he thought “there should sorts of power; the legislative; the executive… and the judicial” (Doc 3).
Reflection #5: Divided Royalties: “Jonathan Boucher & the Pre-Revolutionary Crisis” In my opinion this chapter in the reader is a good chance to compare and contrast Jonathan Boucher’s loyalty to Great Britain and the Anglican Church, to the Rebellion of the colonist and their ripening beliefs of Deism. Boucher’s position in regards to Great Britain was much like that of many government officials, merchants, and clerics during this time; it depended on royal support in order to survive. His loyalty to the church came from the earlier methodology that the Anglican Church was the one true church. These aged concepts and ideals oppose everything that colonist were trying to establish leading up to the revolutionary

The Ancient Greek philosopher Plato calls rhetoric the “art of enchanting the soul.” The early American preacher, social reformer, and abolitionist Henry Ward Beecher says there is nothing more powerful on earth than the function of the “living voice” and that rhetoric should influence the “conduct of humanity, of patriotism and of religion.” This notion of how the spoken word, can be a powerful, transforming, tool that impacts humanity, patriotism and religion defines Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. This paper explores the context, the content and the oration of the address at Gettysburg. According to historian and author Gary Wills, Abraham Lincoln had, “done what he wanted to do at Gettysburg.” This means that Lincoln far surpassed

What motivated men to join the crusades led by Louis IX? Throughout the Middle Ages the idea of the crusade was employed by both the Church and the secular rulers of Western Christendom as a weapon against the infidels of the Holy Land. Shortly after Pope Urban II proclaimed the First Crusade to a large clerical gathering at Clermont in November 1095, the crusade became a traditional element of both Christian and knightly life. The notion of the crusade as both an act of service to God and as a means of celestial improvement inspired a number of Christian men to join the crusading movement. [1] The loss of the territory of Jerusalem in the summer of 1244 had unravelled the unexpected success of the Sixth Crusade and as a result King Louis IX of France, as a devout Christian, wished to travel to the East to reclaim the lost Christian lands.
