Louis XIV, also known as the Sun King, was the king of France from 1643 to 1715. During this time period, France was transformed into the most powerful state in Europe, and a leader in fashion, culture and luxury.

Part of the reason why this was possible was due to King Louis XIV and the success he had in acquiring and protecting his absolute power. This was done in various different ways.

One step that allowed King Louis XIV to increase his power was the centralization of power that he encouraged in France. This eliminated the last traces of feudalism and allowed Paris and the nobility to become more important. Much of the nobility moved to Paris, and many lived in the Palace of Versailles. This meant that the king was surrounded by all the important people of the country. It also pacified the aristocracy and ensured support for the king. Moreover, the king encouraged the adoption of Catholicism all over the country, which contributed to the unification of France and the stability of his regime.

Even though this question is old I am still here to help. Louis XIV Assumes Control of France. After Mazarin's death in 1661, Louis XIV broke with tradition and astonished his court by declaring that he would rule without a chief minister. He viewed himself as the direct representative of God, endowed with a divine right to wield the absolute power of the monarchy.

Which characteristics best describe Aaron Douglass’s painting,song of the towers ?
DedPeter [7]

The right answer is the A: Symbolic and industrial.

<em>Song of the Towers </em>is one in the series of mural paintings <em>Aspects of Negro Life </em>(1934), created by African American artist Aaron Douglas (1900-1979), a great figure of the Harlem Renaissance. The murals trace the history of African Americans, up to their migration from the South to the North of the United States.

The mural is complex both in its formal aspects and in its meaning. A series of concentric circles and protruding and monumental prisms occupy the center of the composition, providing a lively and monumental frame to a jazz musician who is actively playing his saxophone. The Statue of Liberty is behind him, in the background. Although these symbolic elements seem to celebrate and relate African American heritage and culture and national identity, the images of two smoking factories and part of what it looks like a massive piece of industrial equipment, together with those of two exhausted African American workers, speak of the difficulties that African Americans encountered in those cities that promised progress and hope for the future.

Sharecropping agreements were written in such a way that generally favored the sharecropper. true or false
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Sharecropping was a form of farming adopted post-Civil War in the United States. In this form of farming, the landowners would give their lands to black families to work and instead of giving them wages, the families were required to pay or share a portion of the crops cultivated by them to their landowners by the end of the year.

The sharecropping agreement, therefore, is an agreement that favored the employers or the landowners instead of the sharecroppers.

Therefore, the given statement is false.
