In October 1799 Napoleon became first consul of the government and in so being became the most powerful man in France. Napoleon claimed to be the “heir of the revolution” and to begin with he introduced a new system of government promoting “career open to talent” which allowed people from various origins to take high ranking positions in the government and military. Napoleon also made feudalism, which was abolished by the revolution illegal in France thus showing his support for the revolution. Napoleon also introduced legal reforms by writing the “Code Napoleon.” With this he replaced the law codes of the ancient regime which during the revolution had caused much confusion. This new set of laws meant that every French citizen had equal rights promoting the revolutionary idea of equality among all men.
Jefferson wanted a government that did not have all the power. He believed the states should rule their own destiny. After election, Jefferson planed to mold the country in a way he saw fit and a way that would set the country up for success in the future. One way this was planned was through education. Jefferson believed all white men should have the chance to receive a free education.
If we were to believe that the positive experiences of child monarchs were shared by each King there had been, it would be easy to say that Edward VI was a powerful King with significant influence in government. Furthermore, it is apparent that Henry VIII’s overwhelming desire for a male heir meant that his only son, Edward VI would have had a good upbringing and education prior to his kingship. Edward himself was very secluded from his father and spent the majority of his time around women, which was a very traditional way of life for a young and upcoming King. Edward’s education was important to him, and with a protestant teacher, Richard Coxe it is suggested that his
He did not realise that, following Alexander II’s emancipation of the serfs in 1861, he could not return to a state of rigid autocracy when the serfs had already had some freedom. The reformist groups formed as a result of his errors, he fuelled the creation of them. He aggravated them by taking away many of their rights for example fees quadrupled to restrict entry to secondary and higher education and their previous ability to vote was made more difficult. The fact that they had been given a taste of liberalism by Alexander II was what made the Russian people more aware of the inconveniences of the Tsarist Regime; they began to lose their respect for him and one of the main problems he had on his name was
However, due to the Industrial Revolution, America began to stray from the vision the founding fathers had for the nation in the late 1700’s and 1800’s. Though social mobility was promised to immigrants and common Americans, these same people were often exploited and left in poverty. Founding fathers, such as Thomas Jefferson, valued farming above all else, but as industrialism took hold of America, farming became much necessary, and farmers more scarce. Finally, though America’s politicians promised to hear what the common people had to say, during and after the Industrial Revolution it seemed that only the very wealthy could make any sort of impact, and there was nothing to stop them from crushing the working class underfoot. The United States of America was built on the ideal that every man should be able to make his way in the world regardless of his family or class.
Also they can’t have fruit and vegetables to eat. Another reason it’s that the people cannot sell food for money this means that they have to stave of hunger then later they will slowly die. Machinery The second change was machinery. Machinery affected the lives of the poor. Machinery took jobs of many people but it also gave jobs.
This is beneficial for the bourgeoisie because the family and education system will teach the norms and values, which are that the society in which they are living is correct. Education makes the proletariat believe in the ideology of Capitalism and will make the children learning believe in the myth of meritocracy. Marxists argue that the Capitalist ruling classes have deliberately discouraged the working class extended family once seen in the past. This is because
The system of land distribution was unfair and most peasants received 4% less land than they had rented before, many received much less. In reality they had less land than when they were serfs. This was seen as unfair as they believed that, because they had worked the land for generations, it should now belong to them. The Mir still restricted peasants’ movements and as consolidation and enlargement of property was difficult, there was little incentive to improve the land and adopt modern methods, resulting in a decline in productivity The huge redemption taxes also meant that the peasants had to sell many of the crops they needed to eat and the Mir kept the peasants tied to their commune and still controlled by rules. Peasants felt disappointed and disillusioned and many rioted.
Although finance played a significant role in the deterioration of the relationship between Crown and Parliament, it was not the lone reason, due to the fact that there were other more important factors including foreign policy and Buckingham which caused the collapse in the relationship between Crown and Parliament. Firstly, finance was a critical factor in the breakdown in the relationship. For example, the Forced Loan caused a great amount of tension between Crown and Parliament and therefore, worsened relations. It worsened relations because Charles enforced illegal taxations on his subjects without any form of consent from Parliament. He required that his subjects “loan him the equivalent of five subsidies” and although it was “opposed by significant numbers in the localities,” the taxation still occurred as the government had “employed all its powers to eliminate resistance”.
This means that, as you get older or get ill, you will have to stop working therefore not earn any money and slip into poverty. He also found that poverty is not a result of being lazy. Some people do work very hard but earn little money and it is not their fault. Rowntree also discovered that the main percentage of people living in poverty was because of a large family. This means that people are not getting enough money to help buy food and decent homes for their families.
