Answer:  The Glorious Revolution

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 <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government</em> 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.

Additional note:  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.

What was so special about the cigars that the Union troops found?
Solnce55 [7]

Answer: Three cigars, with Lee's battle plans wrapped around them, had been inadvertently lost by a Confederate officer. With this information in Union hands, the South's anticipated victory was cut short. The Confederate Army had been unstoppable - within weeks of winning the Civil War. General Robert E. Lee had won the Second Battle of Bull Run and was marching 55,000 Confederate troops into Maryland on September 3, 1862.

The Confederate Army was welcomed, as anti-Union protests had filled Baltimore's streets.

On September 13, 1862, President Lincoln met with Rev. William Patterson, Rev. John Dempster, and Methodist, Baptist, and Congregational leaders who presented him with a petition to emancipate the slaves Lincoln told them: I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice... I hope it will not be irreverent for me to say that if it is probable that God would reveal His will to others, on a point so connected with my duty, it might be supposed He will reveal it directly to me;

In what new way were movies used during the great depression and world war 2?
Scorpion4ik [409]
Movies were often used as political propaganda. For example, during world war 2, movies shown were either about the war or were actual scenes from the war using footage by people on the war fronts. This was done to improve morale and inspire people to join the effort. The movies would be about monstrosities by the enemies and about war heroes of the allies and the people would join the fight and want to help.
