Robbes and Locke wanted to make the country more equal for everyone one. So they created laws that would limit the power of the different parts of the government. The Checks and Balance method is used in the American government to insure freedom of the citizens. It was put into action when the ruler became to powerful and oppressive.
The enlightened despots were a group of people during a period of enlightenment in europe. They were a group of people that implemented severe advances in how they governed their kingdoms.
One of them, Fredrick the Great, added Religious freedom, freedom of press(reduced censorship), and several more advances. Several of these are the most important parts of the constitution today, such as freedom of speech, etc. Despot means ruler, so they were "enlightened rulers"

The French Revolution been because of several factors. The ineffective rule of king Louis XVI, because he was so interested in himself instead of the rest of the country, that he became a weak king. His irresponsibility caused the country to fall into enormous debt, and they tried to "shake down" the lower classes. The lower classes did not have the basic necessities or life they had to give just about everything they had which wasn't much to begin with. there were also social conflicts, between the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie, they became hostile and contributed to the fall of the country.
Napoleon restored order to France, But how did he accomplish this feet? He set up a tax code to make it fairer for for the people. He imposed his own code called the Napoleonic code which gave France a uniform set of laws and stop injustices. It limited liberty and promoted order and authority over individual rights. He also allowed the national bank to establish a stabilized currency. He also tried spread the power throughput the country. He also kept his information about his losses out of the newspaper. He tried to keep the people from rioting again.
The congress did many things such as set up policies to increase stability and security. It turned Europe into a bunch of states unified. They all cooperated with each other the it came to politics and it made sure that all of the policies were fair for everyone. There was a time of peace because they were all together making decisions. Neither one of the powers in Europe go into war for 40 years, until Britain had to go to war with Russia. The ideas of the French Revolution influenced many generations after with America, because our constitution speaks against the very ideas the French people were pressed with.

Saint Domingue was a French colony in Latin America in the 1800s. Shortly after the French Revolution began, the African enslaved people of the colony Saint Domingue began to revolt in 1791 as well. A former slave, Toussant L’Ouverture rose up as a leader of the people. L’Ouverture fought to end slavery in the colony. In 1801, L’Ouverture had become a skilled diplomat and general and took control of the entire island. He put an end to slavery before he was arrested by the French government and placed in jail where he died a year later. L’Ouverture’s lieutenant Dessalines continued the fight for freedom. In January of 1804, Dessalines declared the colony as an independent country and renamed it Haiti. It was the first Latin American colony to free itself from European rule as well as the first black colony to free itself from European control.


Realism has to do with real life and the suffering that comes along with it, while romanticism has to do with heroic feelings and nature.

This was painted by Claude Monet, on with oil on a canvas in 1872, this paintings was one of the first to start the impressionist movement. Although, this painting received great recognition it was originally just a sketch. The artist did not put much time into this piece because it wasn't intended to be a masterpiece. This painting to me is truly amazing in the way that you can call it what ever you want i could be people taking a quiet boat ride or it could be war.
One the Industrial Revolution started, there became more jobs available for the middle class, thus they received more money. This influx of cash gave them more political and social power. The upper middle class was full of people with occupations such as doctors, lawyers and then important government officials. On the other hand, the lower middle class was full of people with occupations such as printers, mechanics, and toolmakers. Eventually the tension grew smooch that luddites started attacking the factories in which the goods were being made.
The industrial revolution had many positive effects. It created jobs for many people. Technology grew and along with the standard of living. The economy grew to levels never seen before and the trade grew because there became more and more products to be sold all around the world. This also gave people more luxuries and improved the quality of life.
The industrial revolution daily affected two places America and Europe. Although, these two places are on opposite ends of the earth they bother affected in similar ways. A man named Samuel slater moved to America in the 1700s, he was a British mill worker, and he opened a factory in Rhode Island. He transferred the ideas of British Industrialization to to the American textile industry which grew in the following decades, to where everyone started working in factories even women. The most popular corporations started during this time, railroads and stock market businesses. Over in Europe Germany and Belgium, Germany was advancing their railroads and manufacturing while Belgium was developing their economic and transportation.
In rise of these many new ideals, some worked to fight against the negative aspects of industrialization. One of these men was Karl Marx. Marx advocated for a radical form of socialism, a governmental theory in which the lower class was emphasized. Marx authored his ideas in a book called The Communist Manifesto. Marx felt as though the working class was treated unfairly. He also thought that people are naturally separated into feuding classes or states. His book proposed a solution to this problem. Marx's socialism is against government. Therefore, Marx felt that the capitalist government would eventually collapse on itself. Marx encouraged a classless society in which there is little to no government.
Some new ideals worked to fight against the negative affects of industrialization. The push for women's rights started in America and Britain, because they weren't being paid equally for the same amount of work. The women attempted to do something about this problem, and the International Council for Women was created, by "feminists", (women activists).
