How is the palace at Versailles a symbol of the absolute power of Louis XIV?

History

tekilochka [14]3 years ago

The Palace of Versailles was the principal royal residence of France from 1682 until the start of the French Revolution in 1789. Under Louis XIV the royal court had often changed their locations, from the Louvre Palace to the Tuileries, to the Châteaux of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Vincennes, Fontainebleau, to finally the Palace of Versailles in its official inauguration on 6 May 1682, becoming on the ultimate royal residence.

Louis XIV decided to rebuild and enlarge this royal residence to transform it into a setting for both rests and for elaborate entertainments on a grand scale. During this expansion of the palace, it was built the Hall of Mirrors, which was after considered as the most potent symbol of the king’s absolute power since it had enough room to house the whole court. In this way, under the monarch’s eye, the nobility could no longer plot against the king, who informed by an army of spies, controlled everything.

Answer:

B) Their representation would be equal to that of large states.

Explanation:

Several of the smaller states quickly ratified the Constitution because it gave them more power in the new legislative branch than they had under the Articles of Confederation

Smaller states, like Delaware, favored the Constitution. Equal representation in the Senate would give them a degree of equality with the larger states, and a strong national government with an army at its command would be better able to defend them than their state militias could.

How did European nations come to rule most of Africa, despite the presence of strong African kingdoms?
Amanda [17]
The answer is B 
This is because when the Europeans traveled down to colonize Africa they used gins and superior machinery against the mostly secluded part of the world where they had no developed such weapons yet, although they did convert many to Christianity that is not the main reason.
