History
1 answer:
Vesnalui [34]3 years ago
4 0

Absolute Monarchy as a form of governance began in Europe after the end of feudalism mainly in 17th century. Absolute Monarchy simply means that the king is sole source of power and authority. He is above law or his word is itself a law.

European religious conflicts and decline of feudalism and origin of nation states were the reasons which lead to establishment of absolute monarchies in Europe. The people initially supported these absolute monarchs in order to bring peace and stability in the region.

The European Monarchs believed in Divine Rights of King i.e King is the representative of God on earth. We see the best example of absolute monarch in King Lious XIV which was fallowed by other European monarchs. He declared himself as Sun King i.e source of light for his subjects. He weakened the powers of nobility and made them to attend the court regularly, made all decisions of the government on his own, oversee religious affairs, levy taxes and declare war. He could take the advice of his ministers and secretaries but was not bound to their advice. It was the absolute monarchical system which made people to fight for a revolution in France and with French Revolution the absolute monarchical system began to decline Europe.

How did dogs play a role in the Atlantic Slave Trade?
sergeinik [125]
Dogs played important roles in the Atlantic slave Trade because they helped capture slaves in Africa and were used to run slaves down similarly to how dogs are still being used today in the mountains to hunt down and keep sheep at bay. This is the similarity between the two.

How did Henry use of persuasive rhetoric influence the start of the American revolution
timurjin [86]

<u>The way Henry used of persuasive rhetoric influence the start of the American revolution:</u>

Henry Patrick was one of the United States Founding Fathers and the first Virginian Governor. He was a talented speaker in the American Revolution and a leading figure. His stimulating discourses, including a lecture to the Virginia parliamentary Assembly in 1775 in which he was famous as saying, "Give me freedom, or give me death!"—America's freedom war has been fired up.

Patrick Henry used persuasive rhetoric in this speech to encourage the Virginian prominent, wealthy men, to take away much of their previous political policy, in contrast to the more traitorous one, the more transparent military preparedness, of British hostility.

Henry spoke without any notes. His popular address contains no transcripts. In 1817, the only recorded edition of the speech was published by the writer William Wirt in his autobiography, which prompted some scholars to believe that Wirt might have made the famous quote from Patrick Henry to sell a copy of his book.
