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

During his election, _________ did not receive enough votes from the Electoral College.
Strike441 [17]
Okay, the other answer is wrong. The Electoral College's votes are what decide if you can be president or not. So people who actually became president (like Lincoln) did recieve enough votes from the Electoral College. However, during his own election, Al Gore didn't get enough votes from the Electoral College in the Presidential Election in 2000. That's why he lost the election, even though his popular vote was higher.
Hope this helps!
