Thanks Mr. Neal
No problem...First test clue: Why was absolutism in Western Europe so different than absolutism in Eastern Europe? Ok, this week we need to pick up the pace on sharing information so step your game up!!!!!
I think it was because they had to be. In Western Europe more people alot more things avaiable to them like ports, trade and other countries. And the closer you are to another poeple the more one idea might spread. Where as others might be landlockeds and bigger making harder for differant kind of people to interact.

Unit 3 (?'s 1 & 2)
1. Colonel Thomas Pride and a troop of soldiers prevented Presbyterians from sitting in Parliament. The remaining Presbyterians decided to stop associating with Charles I and bring him to trial.
2.The significant requirements of the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679 was to limit the time a prisoner could be held without trial by requiring that civilians arrested, and detained by the military, be released if grand juries failed to indict them. The act also afforded protection to federal officials who were prosecuted in state court for arresting and detaining civilians and for certain acts performed. The Habeas Corpus Act of 1679authorized suspensions throughout the war and enabled the government to detain persons suspected of disloyalty to the Union.
Review Questions
1. What would be considered a forerunner to the modern corporation during the 16th Century commercial revolution?
-- Population growth; "price revolution" of increase in food prices, volume of currency, influx of precious metals; and rise in capitalism with the bourgeoisie becoming entrepreneurs
2. What made both the Renaissance culture and the Protestant Reformation a success?
--The ease at which new ideas were able to spread among the public. Innovation of printing press and sudden thirst for knowledge enabled circulation of new ideas such as individualism (Renaissance) and theological systems (Protestant Ref)
3. How was the Swabian Peasant Revolts inspired by religious ideas?
-- Peasants rebelled against their landlords in the name of Martin Luther due to their interpretation of Lutheran ideas as justifying a peasant revolution.
4. Council of Trent
--Gathering of clergy during the Catholic Reformation that 1) Reformed many church practices (banned simony, educated priests with seminaries) 2) Reaffirmed church doctrines (transubstantiation, celibate clergy, indulgences[purgatory]) 3) Resist Protestant influence (Index of Forbidden Books)
5. Treaty of Westphalia
Treaty that ended 30 Years' War (religious wars). Effects were 1) Accepted Calvinism faith 2) Ruined and dissolved HRE 3)Netherlands independent 4) Rise of France as dominant power.
6. Martin Luther
Key reformist in Protestant Reformation. Started after Pope Leo X authorize John Tetzel to sell indulgences. Wrote 95 Theses – criticized sale of indulgences. Outlawed in Edict of Worms. Main principles: salvation through faith, Bible is authority, Church includes all Christians not just clergy.
7. How did the Dutch provide the greatest degree of religious toleration?
Refuge for the persecuted, Netherlands opened its borders to Protestants, Jews, later Huguenots and Puritans. Republic government allowed coexistence of different beliefs without pressure of religious unity.
Unit 3 Review
1. Whats was the immediate result of Pride's Purge 1648?
It purged the Long Parliament of any members suspected to be royalists as revenge by Puritans. This led to a disbalance of power and the English Civil War.
2. What are significant provisions of the Habeas Corpus Act of 1679?
1) No executive tyranny – monarch cannot unlawfully imprison 2) The accused deserve knowledge of accusation 3) The accused deserve fair trial
3. How did the Netherlands, Sweden, Poland-Lithuania and Scotland exhibit constitutionalism in the 17th century?
Netherlands successfully operated as a republic with the cooperation between governments of its provinces and only utilized its monarchy (House of Orange) during warfare. Sweden and Poland failed due to their lack of a centralized, stable government and constant competition for power among their nobility – example of too much power in population.
4. How did the "nobility of the sword" pose a threat to the French monarchy during the 17th century?
They were the class of old nobility. They challenged the monarchy’s rise to absolutism with traditional ideas - nobles interfering with state affairs and therefore obstructing absolute power of the king.
5. How did Louis XIV (politically) suppress the Hugenots in France?
He revoked Henry IV’s Edict of Nantes – stripping them of rights such as freedom to worship and equal opportunities in jobs, education, healthcare, etc.

We do it purely for our own benefit Mr. Neal...
1. How did the Table of Ranks benefit the Russian Czar?
It sought to educate and train mostly nobles so they can assume new positions in civil service. This benefited the Czar because then he could replace the boyers (old nobility) and put those faithful only to him in their place.
2. What were some specific tactics used by monarchs to suppress the nobility?
The strelski were Moscow militants who acted as police and suppressed all rebellions or opposition such as those by boyers to Peter the Great. The Great Elector gave Junkers the right to demand obedience from their serfs in exchange for their obedience to him (Hohenzollern family).
3. What resulted from the Great Northern War?
Charles XII became the Swedish king, whom Peter defeated in the Battle of Poltava and gained Baltic states that gave him "a window to West" as a result of the Treaty of Nystad.
4. What was a fundamental goal of mercantilism?
Create a favorable balance of trade by maximizing exports and minimize imports.
5. How did Jean Baptiste Colbert attempt to use Mercantilism to help France's economy?
Maximize exports and minimize imports by promoting manufacture and limiting wages for internal improvement such as getting rid of any existing feudal systems.
1. What significant things did Leopold I do?
He was a Habsburg HRE emperor and during his reign conflicted with Ottoman powers (Siege of Vienna 1683 - Turks attempt to take central Europe) and France (Nine Years' War and War of Spanish Succession).
2. Why is serfdom in E. Europe (Central also) so important?
Because of its geography, E. and C. Europe still had an agriculture-based economy and lifestyle. Therefore, serfs were needed to maintain the agragrian production and noble landlords continued to rule over them in a feudal systems.
3. What is the phrase "Window to the West"?
The window is referring to the Baltic states that Peter gained from the Treaty of Nystad after defeating the Swedes in the Battle of Poltava.
4. Name 5 things that make the Glorious Revolution so glorious.
Parliament simply requested William and Mary to take over the executive branch, William and Mary arrived with army in Nov 1688 without much opposition by the English people, James II fled to France in fear, and Parliament accepted William and Mary as the new monarchs without any bloodshed in the whole transfer of power.
