In Western Europe (except in Spain, Italy and Portugal), as feudalism spread, kings lost political powers as a s result of losing control of the main means of wealth production at the time, lands. Even though feudal lords were legally under the king's authority, they were the actual holders of a great deal of the political power as they were in direct control of the economic production and wealth. The appearance of a new social class producing even greater amounts of wealth yet despised by the nobility, the bourgeoisie, offered the kings the opportunity to trade titles of nobility (not based on the possession of lands, though) for money in order to build up enough resources in order to wrest power from the nobles. The actions that most kings carried out were:
- depriving rebellious noblemen from their lands as a way to increase the crown's power and set an example for other noblemen
- creation of a a new aristocratic class of free men who paid for their titles and strengthened the crown's finances
- enhancement or construction of lavish capital cities and ordering the noblemen to change their residence to the king's court, so that they could be kept under close surveillance and reduce the chances of rebellion
- raising of national armies under the direct control of the crown instead of depending on the nobles' levying armies loyal to the nobles and not the king
- a revival and enhancing of the traditional notion of the divine rule of kings which entitled the monarchs to claim absolute power in the land for "God wills it," thus, acting against the king would be the same as acting against God, the worst crime in medieval times

Answer: People have a right to know about their surroundings!
Explanation:
when you are withholding information about what is happening in our world it can cause a lot of problems, making us be disconnected and being ignorant to the truth. Look at a country like North Korea for example, the citizens of the country doesn’t know what life is truly like and without that simple knowledge citizens don’t know if they are being treated unfairly or not, they dont know the difference but we know morally it isn’t right. Also when the government has restricted something even something as simple as this this enables them to feel the need that they should restrict other rights we have.
