Answer: To French revolutionaries, the guillotine symbolized the equality they were fighting for. They thought it was an efficient and equal way to kill people. In A Tale of Two Cities, Dickens demonstrates that it really symbolizes how the revolution got out of hand. Victims of the guillotine met death quickly, seemingly painlessly, and all the while being afforded the dignity of a noble death. In these ways, the guillotine represented the leveling of society that the revolutionaries sought, in both life and death. The Enlightenment, a philosophical movement that dominated in Europe during the 18th century, was centered around the idea that reason is the primary source of authority and legitimacy, and advocated such ideals as liberty, progress, tolerance, fraternity, constitutional government, and separation of church and state.

1) What was the only Roman institution to survive the fall of the Western Empire? Why was it so important? How did the Holy Roma
aivan3 [116]

The institution that survived the fall of the last remnant of the Roman empire  was naturally the church, which has even survived even until modern times.

It was important because it provided order,security, and stability in times when revolts and wars over power came one after another, what is more, it brought identity to a civilization who had lost it centuries ago

It is still important, since most of what it is known about roman civilization survived to our days along with the roman religion, including but not limited to the latin language which otherwise would be lost forever due to the continued break up of the once unified roman empire as well as the mixture of barbaric tribes and their customs which cause population not to understand latin anymore and eventually leading to the development of romance languages. Latin continued to be used by the church nonetheless.

The Holy Roman Empire represented such power by spreading this identity as far as they could and assimilating the emperor and the rest of institutions  under his grasp. In this way the roman catholic church melded in a church- state alliance where church was for long time an entity as big and powerful as the state itself . This is how the hierarchy and ways of the roman church exist and continue to influence many people around the world today.
