#1. habeas corpus: it means in Latin “you shall have the body” and meant that individuals was protected against unfair arrest and imprisonment, that individuals had to have a trial.
cabinet: the 1st cabinets were the Whigs and Tories, the Whigs were for Americans and the Tories for the British. the cabinet also belonged top the majority part of parliament.
prime minister: is the head of government in great Britain
limited constitutional monarchy: was when they still had monarchs but they had to consult parliament before doing anything.

#2. restoration:the monarchy was reestablished after the commonwealth.
Tories: a part of the cabinet that was in favor of the British and the Anglican church.
Whigs:other part of the cabinet in favor of the Americans, they wanted a strong parliament.
James II: Charles II catholic brother who took the throne. he believed that absolute royal rule antagonized both the Whigs and the Tories, and he kept trying to help the catholics which frightened protestants .
William III: was at first William of orange a famous soldier who had defeated the french. he was head of a dutch army in 1688, then James left into exile and he became the joint ruler of England along with Mary II.
Mary II: joint ruler of England along with William III.
Glorious Revolution:the bloodless transfer of power in the English monarchy that happened because the people did NOT like James III and neither did parliament.
Thomas Hobbes:believed the idea that all men are equal so because all men are equal all men will always fight without an absolute monarch to forcefully stop them from fighting, and that whoever the people choose to be the monarch they had to listen to whatever they said.
john Locke:believed that all men were equal too but his solution was different he believed that we need a constitutional monarch to protect the life liberty and property of the people and if the monarch did anything to violate any of those then the people should be able to kick him out and replace him.
English bill of rights:similar to the bill of rights, explains the god given rights of all the people.
toleration act: granted some religious freedoms to dissenter, protestants who were not members of the Anglican church. It although did NOT protect roman catholics or Jews. It also barred dissenters for holding public office.

#4.
a.they differ in the views of the English monarchy because although the Tories supported the Anglican church but they were willing to accept a roman catholic king. unlike the Tories the Whigs did NOT want a roman catholic king and wanted a strong Parliament.
b.with Charles II religion played a role because him and his wife had no children and it would seem as if when he died his younger brother James a roman catholic would become king. with James II religion played a role because he kept trying to help the catholics more which angered the protestants. because of this parliament decided to get rid of James and put William of orange, this started the glorious revolution.
c.the social contract of Hobbes and Locke was giving one leader power to rule over everyone else. they disagreed on whether it should be a constitutional monarch or a absolute. Hobbes thought that absolute monarch should rule while Locke wanted a constitutional monarch instead.

john locke

amberh2011 — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 03:50:27 +0000

john Locke was the first Englishman. his philosophies can be found in his book essay concerning human understandings. he asked questions like where do we get our ideas from and can we really rely on what our senses say?? his idea was that only things that we precieve are simple. if we want to precieve anyhing complex our minds would have to be empty at first. locke said that it was inherent in humans to know that god exist. he also advocated “division of powers” john locke also belived that all men are equal and that if all men are equal that we must have one person being in charge to protect the liberty, lives and the property of the people and if he violated such things then they can be removed from power. he belived in a contitutional monarchy pretty much.

Descartes&Spinoza

amberh2011 — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 02:35:02 +0000

Descartes and Spinoza were both philosophers who had some very different ideas. For example, Descartes believed that everything that was reality was only either thought or extension and that they both come from god. He always focused on the relationship between spirit and matter. He also would not believe something that he could not prove. Spinoza, on the other hand, didn’t believe in that, he believed that everything comes from only nature or god. He thought that god was both substance and extension, and that we have no free will that we live by the laws of nature.

indo-european and semetic

amberh2011 — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 00:08:05 +0000

There were many differences between the indo European and the ancient Semitic culture. For one their religions were very different from each other. For example, the Semitic culture believed in Judaism while the indo-European culture believed in Buddhism. The difference there is not only what their beliefs are but for example the Semitic culture is more polytheistic while the indo-European was more monotheistic.
