According to the concept of absolutism, all government power is to be put in the hands of a sole ruler.  

In promoting the theory of absolutism, French bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet  (1627-1704), who was court preacher to King Louis XIV of France, said: "Monarchy is sacred, it is paternal, it is absolute. The royal throne is not that of a man but the throne of God himself."  Louis XIV is known in history for developing an absolutist approach to the monarchy in France.  Known as "The Sun King" because all of France's activity was to revolve around him, Louis XIV did not share his power with others.  The Estates-General, which was France's gathering of delegates from the various classes of society, was never called to meet during Louis XIV's reign.  The king's word was to be the final word on all things.

DBQ: Is the American Jury System Still a Good Idea? plz help me. Write me an Essay plzzzz
juin [17]

The jury system in America is something passed down from the British colonists in the 18th century. The jury protected nationalists in court from the restraints of British rule. When the United States revolted from Great Britain the United States retained the jury system. The Founding Fathers found it essential to include a jury in court proceedings to prevent a tyrannical government from forming. These values were in expressed in the Bill of Rights, notably in the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and later Fourteenth Amendment. The jury system works by selecting eligible citizens from a pool of candidates. This jury then will listen to the case with an unbiased mind. They then decide the guilt or innocence of the defendant. This system has worked for centuries to protect citizens and to ensure fair trial. However, in the modern age, the efficiency and use of the jury system is largely obsolete. The jury system places a burden on the backs of citizens, juries are placed in cases they do not understand, and convicts hundreds of innocent people each year.The one reason why it is a good idea is that it During the trial, jurors are usually doing what they are supposed to do. We mean – gathering the evidence which helps to set an innocent person free or a guilty person pay. ... Jury trials should stay because they help to increase the sense of civic duty.
