Correct answers:

  • B. He moved his court from Paris to Versailles, where he and his courtiers lived in splendor and excess.
  • C. He believed he had received his authority from God and did not have to share power with anyone.

Details/context:

Louis XIV is a hugely important historical figure.  He was on the throne as king in France from childhood to his old age; he ruled from 1643 to 1715. He was known as the Sun King because all important activity in France basically revolved around him.  Important activity meant that of the ruling classes -- not the struggles of the common people.  It was one of Louis XIV's goals to keep the ranking nobles from being a threat to his power, so he lured them to come live at the glorious Versailles palace with him. That way he could keep them under his influence and away from their lands in the provinces.  They were lavishly entertained, but lost the real power they would have had as lords governing in their provincial lands.  And the people in the provinces were neglected.

Louis XIV also subscribed to the idea of the "divine right of kings." That belief was summed up succinctly by Bishop Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet, who was court preacher at the royal court of Louis XIV.  Bossuet said that monarchy "is sacred, it is paternal, it is absolute … the royal throne is not that of a man but the throne of God himself."  The claim of kings' divine right meant their authority could not be challenged because they were put in their office by God and were to be respected as God's sovereign representatives.

In his speech Roosevelt made no mention of Germany and the war in Europe. Why?
deff fn [24]
Roosevelt did not mention Germany and the war in Europe in his speech because his main aim was to make sure that America stayed out of the war. He did not want the American people to become involved in foreign wars.  What he did do, however, is provide weapons to the Allies to help them fight the war. It would seem that by providing the Allies with weapons he was hoping that the citizens of the USA would never become involved in the war.
