On June 15, 1215, a disgruntled group of landed barons achieved a great if very short-lived victory over the reigning monarch of the time, King John. That victory was the king’s consent to a document presented for his stamp that limited the monarch’s authorities vis-à-vis his subjects. That document, the Magna Carta, was a detailed list of demands and principles that were intended to protect these elites from the tyranny of a king with unchecked powers.
This limitation on the taxation of the king’s subjects, and its prohibition on the enforced requisition of those subjects’ crops and other properties, remained a pillar of democratic thought for centuries to come, and was reissued several times over the ensuing years until it finally stuck. Its influence on the British subjects residing in the Crown’s North American colonies who were contemplating the text of what would become the Constitution of the United States was considerable. Those rebellious colonies were heavily influenced by the intellectual developments characteristic of the Age of Enlightenment, but central to those developments remained the principles established in the Magna Carta. That this nation’s founders were similarly influenced by the 1215 document is evident in Alexander Hamilton’s essay defending the draft constitution and advocating for its ratification. In that essay, designated Federalist Paper #84, Hamilton wrote the following: “It has been several times truly remarked that bills of rights are, in their origin, stipulations between kings and their subjects, abridgements of prerogative in favor of privilege, reservations of rights not surrendered to the prince. Such was Magna Charta, obtained by the barons, sword in hand, from King John. Such were the subsequent confirmations of that charter by succeeding princes. Such was the Petition of Right assented to by Charles I., in the beginning of his reign. Such, also, was the Declaration of Right presented by the Lords and Commons to the Prince of Orange in 1688, and afterwards thrown into the form of an act of parliament called the Bill of Rights.”
In that passage, Hamilton recognizes the enduring influence of the Magna Carta, and of the document’s role in the evolution of political thought through the ensuing centuries. The concept of limitations on the power of a ruler had sufficient appeal that it survived many monarchs’ efforts at resisting the relinquishment of authority the document stipulated. The American Bill of Rights was a direct outgrowth of the evolution of political thought that didn’t begin with the Magna Carta, but for which the document represented perhaps its most important manifestation to date.
The government gets their power from the people who vote for their leadership.
Edict of Nantes
It was issued in 1598, by king Henry IV Bourbon of France. It was the second document (after The January Edict of 1561) issued by a French sovereign to provide religious freedom in the country. It was a consequence of the long-lasting religious conflicts in France between Catholics and Huguenots (other name for Calvinists), situated mainly in Southern France. King Henry IV succeeded Henry III Valois and his infamous mother Catherine de Medici. Henry IV was one of the most prominent leaders of the Protestant opposition in France, but had to convert to Catholicism (for the second time in his life) in order to inherit the throne. The Edict of Nantes was one of the first things that he did as a king, and, basically, it allowed for the Protestants across the land to hold on to the cities that they had turned into their strongholds, while Catholics did the same, too. This was a compromise and angered many, Catholics because they could not get rid of the "heresy" among their lands, and Protestants because they could not succeed in reforming France once and for all.
Answer:
You and your sibling whose name is Adam go to Toy Duncans Chest. There, your sibling finds a box of legos. It is labeled at $3.99, and so Adam brings it to the cashier. The cashier says, "That will be $4.27." Your sibling removes four one-dollar bills from a pocket and then, finding no money left, your sibling begins to cry. Adam begins asking you questions as you walk away from the counter.
"Why was the label wrong? It said $3.99!"
You respond, "It rang up to 4.27 because of tax. This is because it help benifit our econemy. This is because so we can afford to help our country run without everything being a lot of money."
"It doesn't help me. I'm just a kid"
You respond, "Even children benifit. Firstly, taxes can help fund schools so children can be able to learn and get good-paying jobs when they get older. It also can help fund families, in case they cannot find a job, so they can continue to pay bills to help keep their houses. It can also help build homes for communities for people who need them."
"How was I supposed to know all this? I don't have 27 cents. What do I do now?"
You respond, "What you should do is create your own budget. A budget is a certain amount of money that people set in order to make sure they do not spend too much money on things they want. You can save up some money from doing things around the neighborhood like cleaning yards. You can put this money and count how much you earn and how much you have. You can then use this in order to make sure you do not spend too much on things you want, and to make sure that you only buy important things first rather than the things you want."
"Will by budget be anything like the government's budget?
You respond, "They have simalarities and differences. Firstly, a personal budget is used by small families that can help to make sure they remain financially stable. This means that they do not have to worry about spending too much on other things and can continue to pay bills for their house. A national budget is shared by the whole country. These national budgets are used by the government in order to put money into stuff like the military and doctors to keep our country safe and healthy. These are both similar because they both are used to plan the use of money and to make sure that not too much money is spent and can be used for other needs as well."
