1 The Enlightenment Mr. Booth World History Source: 1. A History of Modern Europe by John Merriman
2 The Enlightenment The Enlightenment is Daring to know! A Quest for knowledge Progress through REASON The Enlightnement is also known as The Age of Reason
3 It Begins with Two English Thinkers Hobbes and Locke 1. Thomas Hobbes The Leviathan. (1651) Convinced that people were naturally 1. Selfish 2. Wicked Without government, people would wage war of every man against every man.
4 To escape a brutal life: Social Contract 1. People give up their rights 2. Then, the Government will provide law and order Points 1, and 2 are the Social Contract The best government = awesome power of Leviathan (Awesome Sea Monster) What type of government is this? Why are they destined to fail?
5 2. John Locke He has a positive view of human nature Argues P, have natural ability to: people could learn from experience to improve themselves Locke criticized absolute monarchy in favor of self-government (democracy)in which as reasonable beings, people have the natural ability to govern their own affairs and to look after the welfare of society.
6 Locke BORN =According to Locke, all people are born free and equal (tabula rasa), with three natural rights. (3) NATURAL RIGHTS: Life, liberty, and property. PURPOSE OF GOV: The purpose of government, said Locke, is to protect these rights. IF A GOV. FAILS: citizens have a right to overthrow it. He wrote Two Treatises on Government
7 Changing Idea: The Right to Govern Old Idea A Monarchs rule is justified by divine right New Idea A government's power comes

9 What is Political Satire? S.N.L. Take
10 New York Post, Sean Delonas, 2011
11 New York Post, Sean Delonas, 2011 At its most benign, the cartoon suggests that the stimulus bill was so bad, monkeys may as well have written it. Others believe it compares the president to a rabid chimp. Either way, the incorporation of violence and (on a darker level) race into politics is bound to be controversial. Perhaps that's what Delonas wanted.
12 3. Voltaire Witty sarcastic that used political satire against his opponents Main Idea: Was a champion of reason, freedom of religious belief, and freedom of speech. The threat. Early works banned in France Everything he wrote banned in Spain Was twice sent to prison. I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. 3 Reasons to love Voltaire
13 4. Montesquieu Influential French writer that devoted himself to writing about political liberty (political freedom).
14 Montesquieu Montesquieu called this division of power among different branches the separation of powers in his famous book On the Spirit of Laws (1748). Power, he wrote should be a check to power. So each branch of the government would serve as a check on the other two. This is also known as Checks and Balances. The Separation of Powers essentially keeps any group of government from..???? Articles 1, 2, 3 of Constitution
15 5. Mary Wollstonecraft Published an essay called A Vindication of the Rights of Woman in Disagreed with Voltaire on education. She believed that education was not secondary to a man s education. She argued that like men, women need education to become virtuous and useful, and that it would make them better mothers. She believed that women could also be something more than nurses, that they should also be able to become doctors.
16 Wollstonecraft Let women share the rights and she will emulate the virtues of men for she must grow more perfect when emancipated, she wrote. The key to gaining equality and freedom, she argued was better education.
17 6. Beccaria Italian philosophe Cesare Beccaria turned his thoughts to the reforming the justice system Quote: Laws existed to preserve social order, not to avenge crimes. Criticized abuses of justices included: Torture of witnesses and suspects Leading or Suggestive Interrogation Punishments that were arbitrary or cruel Believed capital punishment should be abolished Ideas influenced criminal law reformers in Europe and N. America
18 Beccaria Wrote "On Crimes and Punishments in th Amendment to the Constitution is. Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. What is waterboarding???

Of Suggestive Interrogations (Leading Questions) All Star is Cesare Beccaria, On Crimes and Punishment Summary: With the threat of torture everyone will talk. People should not have to incriminate themselves because officers of the law ask them leading questions or threaten torture.

29 Primary Source Exercise Answers Cont. Man in the State of Nature All Star is Thomas Hobbes (Leviathan) Summary: That in man s natural state, morality (goodness) does not exist. Therefore, a man should have no rights because they are incapable of being good. On Tolerance All Star is Voltaire Summary: It is our nature to be tolerant because we are all frail and make mistakes. We must forgive each other. Certainly, rulers will always make alliances based on power, but we must respect each other s differences.
