Robespierre and The Reign of Terror

The reign of terror was a terrible time that Max Robespierre created after he became the leader of the Committee of Public Safety. He decided to see who was the enemy to the republic and afterwards, he acted like a dictaor. He started the whole thing by getting power, little by little, while other leaders struggled for it during the battle with the First Coalition, An alliance that Prussia and Austria made with Great Britain, Holland and Spain.

The Reign of Terror was something that people were afraid to be in. If anyone who challenged Max Robespierre's leadership, they would get their heads chopped of, same thing if someone does a crime that Max thinks it is. The execution would be sentenced to the gallows to get their heads chopped of. One example is that a 18-year old boy was sentenced to the gallows for chopping a tree down that it represents liberty. Alot of people in France died in the gallows and the people were in dangered one by one. The people didn't want to die. The Reign of terror happened because Max became a dictator and used the gallows ALOT.

On July 28, 1784
Max lost his head because the convention would know that they would not be safe when he is around so they turned on him. Everyone would say "down with the tyrant". people would be chasing him until they catched him and put him on the gallows. After Max lost his head, The Reeign of Terror had finally ended.

The French Revolution

#1:
-Nobles almost had complete authority over peasants
-Nobles did not do military work
-Nobles collected tolls from people doing markets and on the roads
-Peasants were forced to do military work
-Peasants had to pay taxes to their king, the church and their lord
-Etc.

#2- The price of bread have doubled and the people were starving and France was borrowing heavilythat King Louis the 16th was asking the Americans to fight England in their revolution.

#3- I think the peasant was trying to kill them because one thing i saw in the pictureis that his arm is wrapped around the feudal lords neck, the feudal lord is trying to break free and the clergy is hiding behind them

#4- It appears that the two people are struggling to survive because they keep giving the feudal lords crops and animals as taxes. after a while, they will end up with nothing and they will probably die

#5- Te poor peolpe do resent on the rich poeple because they have to pay alot of things that has to be paid like every month or year and they don't have things that rich people have. The rich people have the easy life.

#6- I would say the people because people should be able to vote and decide if they want a government that isn't so cruel and fair. All of the poor people would want to participate in this because they would live healthy than die in the streets.

#7- I think the king and the rich people didn't want and fair democracy because they rather live the way they are right now and they would care less for the poor people.

John Locke and " The Enlightenment "

Thomas Jefferson is the one who wrote the Declaration of Independence. The rights that he was talking about is that all men are equal. The rights that men have is life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The Declaration of Independence also says that if any Form of government becaomes too destructive, the men can abolish it or alter it. They can also try to decide a new government that will actually care for their safety and their happiness, They can decide how much power they will put, etc.

The government gets their power by the people. The people decides if they want to approve the government or if they want to disprove a government they want to create. For example, if someone wants to become president, the person must have an approval from the people saying that they want that person to become president. The government cannot decide for itself if they want to do something. Today, the people still do the same thing to see if they want the government to keep going or not.

Copernicus and the trial of Galileo

There are two theories of the solar system, the geocentric and the heliocentric. The heliocentric is the theory that the sun is in the center of the solar system, while the geocentric is a theory that the earth is in the center of the solar system and that other objects go around it. Basically the geocentric theory came first that everything revolved around the earth, and then the heliocentric came in from the scientific method. Scientist try to prove that the geocentric was wrong.

Galileo was in trial because he tried to prove that the sun did not sit in the center of the universe. The Roman Catholic Church put galileo in trial because he wasn't suppost to defend or teach the Copernican doctrine. He has done alot of tings to be representing his theory. One example he did is that he was doing a 500 page dialogue to explain the theory. In the end, the holy office sentence him to life inprisonment under house arrest. They sentence him to place where he will live and also die there.

Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

The Scientific Method Is being used all the time for scientist to see if they can prove or disprove. It all satrted when a scientist named Aristotle started to prove things like how many teeth are in a man and a womens mouth without checking inside their mouth and if a heavy object falls faster than a samller object. Today, Scientist uses the scientific method to see if they can prove or disprove a theory or an idea.

Alot of scientist uses the scientifc method because they don't just want to accept and idea or a theory, they want to have their own conclusion to see if they agree or disagree. One example is when Issac Newton tried to explain the law of gravity that Aristotle talked about. In the end, Aristotle was wrong. This is why the Scientific Revolution was created, to see if scientist agree or diagree a certain thing that one scientist says. Right now, the scientific method is still being used all the time.

Another example is when he tried to prove that heavy objects will fall faster than smaller objects but when an itallian scientist named Galileo tested it, he proved Aristotle wrong. Before the scientific method was made, most scholars would get theirs ideas fom the greeks ad romans, or from the bible. Now that the method is made, scientist can prove things more easily and more better.

Evolution vs. Creation

Creationism
Creation is a religious belief that humanity, the world and all living things were created by God. These kind of things are all from the bible of the story of Genesis that starts when God created the Earth, man and women, etc. Most of these things is in Christianity and others. Everything has happen a long time ago and everything is in the bible to tell how it goes. Churches explain how each chapter of the bible, how mandkind has been created and so on.

Darwin's Theory of Evolution
Darwin's theory is said that little things can evolve into bigger things as the years go by. There are many things that have been said to explain the theory like monkeys evolving into men. Alot of things have happened in the past million years like for the dinosaur age. It is said that we are form from different things to humans.

I would believe with creationism because i think that we are born as humans alone and not from something else. If we were borm from little things that form into animals or anything else, we would be another creature living outdoors instead of acting normally like we always do. I dont believe that we are animals acting who are acting like they know how to do things that no other creature can do. I would say that animals and humans were made separatly from the world. I also don't believe that evolution created the world because it would have to grab alot of things outside of the world.
