Answer:
<u>Because even if the Absolutism has similarities and was applied in almost the entire Europe, each country modeled its conceptions to adapt to reality. </u>And this reality could be <u>social, political or religious.</u>
Explanation:
I believe that the better way to understand this point is analyzing the two major countries where the Absolutism was strong: France and England.
- France was ruled by Louis XIV in the 17th century. He describes himself as "The state is me" (“L'Etat c'est Moi”). This monarch is the main definition of the absolutist ruler. <u>To support his government, Louis XIV follows the idea of Divine Right of Kings which argued that the monarch had divine powers and was elected by God. Thus, his actions and laws were divine and couldn't be disrespected. </u>The question is: why this conception worked in France? <u>Because it was a catholic country, and religious perceptions were followed without question. Plus, Louis XIV had no limits in his powers. I mean, there was no law or political scheme that could limit him.</u>
- On the contrary, in England, <u>the king was subjected to the Parlament. </u>However, only this restriction was not sufficed to limit his power. The main point is that the British kings <u>followed the idea of a social contract (popularized by the philosopher Thomas Hobbes). </u>This idea attests that <u>a king has duties with its people,</u> and the Parlament was always remembering him about this. So, he couldn't do whatever he wanted.
Suffering should be avoided. I am a Buddhist and Buddhism is built on the fact that humans are suffrage, we create our own suffering by being selfish and wanting to much and never giving it back. That is why when you find enlightenment you are not only finding your soul but you have everything you need and want.
1. The Sons of Liberty have tarred and feathered a British Tax Collector and are forcing tea down his throat under the Liberty Tree (which was cropped out of this particular image)
2. Symbols include:
- The Boston Tea Party happening in the background
- The upside down "Stamp Act" poster
- The tea being forced down the tax collectors throat
- The Liberty Tree behind them (which also has a noose hanging off of it, but again that has been cropped out)
3. Significant words or phrases:
- "Stamp Act" it is upside down, which could indicate surrender (which is pretty much what the British had to do with the Stamp Act)
- "Liberty Tree" because they are tarring and feathering someone underneath a supposed symbol of liberty && the "Liberty Tree" has a noose hanging off of it
- "Tea" this is significant because they are forcing it down the tax collectors throat & there is a tea act that enrages colonists
4. The cartoons message is that the American Colonists (specifically the Sons of Liberty) are savages who brutally attack men for collecting taxes for the British government. It also makes the colonists appear ungrateful (the tea party in the back).
5. Yes, it probably was very effective in Britain (where it was printed)
6. The British and their Loyalists in the colonies would agree and support this cartoon. The patriots (those who supported the soon to come revolution) and especially the Sons and Daughters of liberty would oppose and disagree with this cartoon (because it makes them look bad).
It deals with protecting people from the searching of their homes and private property without properly executed search warrants.
The complaints of the colonists that Thomas Paine, a political activist, wants foreign nations to know about is that, i<span>f foreign nations learn of the colonies unhappiness, they will be willing and able to provide loans and military support. Hope this is the answer that you are looking for. </span>
