what penalty did children of russian nobles face if they did not learn mathematics? (in a paragraph)​
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

If a child of a Russian noble didn't learn mathematics, that child was not allowed to marry. The Great Sovereign at that time, Peter I, decreed in 1699 that the New Year's celebration switch to January 1 from September 1. He also decreed that children between 10 and 15 had to learn mathematics in order to get married. This didn't apply to children of freeholders and government clerks. After children mastered math, they were given marriage certificates written in their own handwriting. If they didn't master the subject, they weren't allowed to be given these certificates, and thus, couldn't marry.

horrorfan [7]

Throughout the late eighteenth century and the early nineteenth century, most parts of Europe had a monarch who claimed to have the right to rule from <u>God.</u>

In opposition, <u>the Enlighment thinkers challenged the legitimacy </u>of those absolute monarchs and introduced the first democratic concepts during the last decades of the 18th century: social contract (the power of a state is held by the citizens who should transfer it to political representatives through suffrage), the division of powers (three branches of goverment: legislative, executive and judiciary, in order to prevent authoritarism), etc. These new principles directly threatened the pillars of the governments of the authoritarian kings, and brought reason to the political sphere.

When the legitimacy was questioned, the peace and stabiliy were broken and this is why the 19th century was denominated as the century of the revolutions in Europe.
