History

Vlad1618 [11]3 years ago
6 0

Joseph II of Austria, and emperor of the Holy Roman empire, can be considered as an enlightened despot because:

  • he was recognized by his contemporary fellow monarchs as a highly cultured man, in contrast with many monarchs prior to him who took no interest in learning and knowledge; he used his culture as an instrument to become a better ruler
  • he abolished servitude in his empire, an institution he believed anachronistic and unfair
  • he managed to do away with the political participation of the Catholic Church in the government and its business since he deemed the role of the Church was a spiritual one, not a secular one
  • he sponsored the arts (especially music which he enjoyed most) and commissioned one of the greatest musicians of all times, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart with the composition of several pieces of music, mostly operas
  • he carried out educational reforms
  • in a time of religious intolerance, he allowed his subjects to profess the religion of their choice and protected them with laws

Mrrafil [7]
In 1766, the British Parliament passed the Declaratory Act to repeal the Sugar Act and the Stamp Act, because it ended up hurting the British trade and they used this to save face. The Act stated that the rules were the same for the colonies than they were for Great Britain and that all laws made in Parliament were binding for the Thirteen Colonies.
