Correct answers:

  • A. He called himself the Sun King because he considered himself as important as the sun itself.
  • C. During his 72-year reign, he claimed the idea of the divine right of kings.

Details/context:

Louis XIV is a hugely important historical figure.  He was on the throne as king in France from childhood to his old age; he ruled from 1643 to 1715. He was known as the Sun King because all activity in France basically revolved around him.  So much so was that the case, that members of the nobility competed with each other for the right to help the king get dressed in the morning!  It was one of Louis XIV's goals to keep the ranking nobles from being a threat to his power, so he lured them to come live at the glorious Versailles palace with him. That way he could keep them under his influence and away from their lands in the provinces.  They were lavishly entertained, but lost the real power they would have had as lords governing in their provincial lands.

As to the "divine right of kings" idea, that belief was summed up succinctly by Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, who was court preacher at the royal court of Louis XIV.  Bossuet said that monarchy "is sacred, it is paternal, it is absolute … the royal throne is not that of a man but the throne of God himself."  The claim of kings' divine right meant their authority could not be challenged because they were put in their office by God and were to be respected as God's sovereign representatives.

m_a_m_a [10]

The correct answer is the following.

Brown's last words can be considered ominous and foreshadowing. Explain how that is the case about the phrase:<em> "the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood."</em>

The comment can be considered foreshadowing because it is true that violence cannot be resolved with more and bloodiest violence. If this happens, a vice circle is created in which the result is more conflict, more violence, and more blood, but problems still persist.

And we can see how this is true. The World Wars did not finish with ethnicities and racial problems in Europe.

We can go further in the past. The Civil War spilled blood, pain, suffering, and desolation, but the issue of slavery did not end there. It continued for many years, in many forms, up until today, with the many recent racial incidents in many cities of the United States.
