Answer:  The Glorious Revolution showed that the people could pursue a  change of ruling power.

Explanation/context:  

English philosopher John Locke wrote his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government </em>in the wake of the Glorious Revolution, advocating that the people had the right to change a government if the government was not properly serving the people whom it governed.  Leaders in the American colonies became fans of the philosophy of John Locke, and believed they had the right to pursue a change in government and free themselves from control of Great Britain.

The Glorious Revolution in England was led by members of Parliament against King James II,  who had tried to assert greater power and control for himself as king, infringing on their rights.   The "revolution" was a change in government, mostly without violence.  In June of 1688, seven highly-placed Englishmen sent a letter of invitation to William of Orange (who was husband to James II's daughter Mary), inviting him to come to England and be supported by them and the people as king.  As king and queen, the new rulers of England became known as William III and Mary II.

The American Revolution, launched with the Declaration of Independence in 1776, was similar in that it was seeking to free America from unfair government imposed on the colonies by the British home government.  In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson listed "facts to be submitted to a candid world" to demonstrate that the British king had been seeking to establish "an absolute Tyranny over these States."

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

Greek and Roman are bedrock of the classical culture of Western civilization.

From Greece we inherited a political system and governing model called democracy which flourished in Athens many centuries before our era. The great Greek philosophers Socrates, Plato and Aristotle left us their thinking and philosophy that are the first major works on society and politics, ethics, morality, government. Greek mythology, adopted by the Romans, provided stories and enduring symbols in Western cultures, as well as magnificent inspiration for some of the best Western art and literature. Greek comedy and tragedy are the first major heights of world theater, and Homer gave us the Iliad and the Odyssey. Greek and Roman architecture still serve as models for many of our modern buildings. Thanks to Herodotus, the first world historian, we know about the Medic Wars and the conquests of Alexander the Great.

Rome inherited us also great thinkers, writers, speakers, the art of oratory. From Roman governing system, we have inherited an institution that still exists today in modern democracies: the Senate. Latin , the Roman people´s language, was adopted as the official language of the Catholic Church and of scholars for many centuries; it is the mother of contemporary Romanic languages such as French, Italian and Spanish.

crimeas [40]
The author portrays Theseus as a flawed human being. In early adventures, Theseus proved that he was a 'hero' but it wasn't until he slew the minotaur he became a legend, the living embodiment of braveness.
