Answer:
<h2>
The Glorious Revolution</h2>
Details:
The Glorious Revolution in England was led by members of Parliament against King James II, who had tried to assert greater power and control for himself as king, infringing on their rights. The "revolution" was a change in government, mostly without violence. In June of 1688, seven highly-placed Englishmen sent a letter of invitation to William of Orange (who was husband to James II's daughter Mary), inviting him to come to England and be supported by them and the people as king. As king and queen, the new rulers of England became known as William III and Mary II.
The Glorious Revolution showed that the people could pursue a change of ruling power. English philosopher John Locke wrote his Second Treatise on Civil Government in the wake of the Glorious Revolution, advocating that the people had the right to change a government if the government was not properly serving the people whom it governed. Locke believed people are born as blank slates--with no preexisting knowledge or moral leanings. Experience then guides them to the knowledge and the best form of life, which includes choosing to form governments--and replace governments if necessary--to make society better and to protect their rights. This was his application of the "social contract" theory.
<em>Additional note</em>: Leaders in the American colonies became fans of the philosophy of John Locke, and believed they had the right to pursue a change in government and free themselves from control of Great Britain.
Answer:
To understand how Ryoan-ji illustrates religious syncretism in Japan, let us first define the term "religious syncretism."
Religious syncretism blends two or more religious belief systems into a new distinct system. It is not the same as multiple religious belonging or polytheism, which is practiced by many, even when they profess one religious belief.
For example, the Ryoan-ji houses the Zen Buddhist temple site. Zen was imported from China in the 12th century CE. In the Ryoan-ji temple, rocks (belief system from Shinto) are carefully laid and the environment encourages contemplation (from Buddhism), without the study of sacred texts, for the purpose of attaining enlightenment.
Explanation:
Shinto is practiced in Japan as the worship of natural things and kami, which represent infinite number of gods. Buddhism is imported into Japan from China. It emphasizes enlightenment through the practice and development of morality, meditation, and wisdom. Buddhists strongly believe that life is both endless and subject to impermanence, suffering, and uncertainty.
