Royally Flushed
Fairy Tale Essay
Ryan Hildebrand Per.3
Once upon a time there was an isolated town called Flushville, which was guarded and surrounded by gigantic, thick cement walls that cut off the rest of the world. Flushville was ran by a mighty powerful king named King Macron, who put up the walls because he wanted to run an independent union. The whole city was ruled by this powerful King and treated him with the utmost respect. Most of the time you hear the word King and you think of a mighty figure of inspiration and a role model; this King was different. King Macron wasn't treated with respect by choice of the townspeople, but other than it was his rule to always treat him with respect otherwise those individuals would be doomed and shunned by the King, sometimes sentenced to death. The King often isolated himself in his tower, where he sat to watch over and rule the citizens of Flushville. He preferred to keep his face hidden for reasons unknown, probably something to do with privacy. The King did most of his speeches and announcements from the top of his tower while the townspeople gathered below him to listen. Queen Mary, the queen of
Flushville, and the King didn’t communicate often and when they did, they usually argued and the conversations didn’t get far. King Macron was much more powerful than the queen which the queen had no control over because King Macron chose her for her position.
As time went on, months passed and Queen Mary started listening to the conversations and the complaints that the townspeople have had. King Macron never associated himself to any of the citizens except to punish them or to give them a certain command, therefore he wasn’t listening to any complaints or oppositions that anyone had. Everytime Queen Mary would try to explain to King Macron that the citizens were unhappy, it just seemed to go through one ear and out the other. The king was in no way concerned about the citizens that he ruled; the

    King Louis XIV famously declared, “I am the state,” and there is no question that he identified himself as the sole ruler of France. During the so-called Sun King’s absolute monarchy, the nobility had little or no role in or control over the French government. Instead, King Louis built the glamorous palace at Versailles and invited members of the nobility to live on the palace grounds. Most didn’t pay taxes and led an indulgent lifestyle but with no political influence. Most of King Louis’s reign was spent fighting foreign wars that also kept the nobles occupied as soldiers. The French nobility retained their status in high society under King Louis XIV but were never given the powerful political titles that were reserved for men of great intelligence.…

    The Nobles had had a history of standing in the way of French absolutism however, by manipulating them; Louis XIV was able to achieve immense feats. In one instance, Louis XIV achieved the active collaboration of the Nobility in Languedoc. He was able to convince the Nobles in Languedoc to support an elaborate canal project. In return for their support, he promised to increase taxes, which in turn, benefited the Nobles of Languedoc as well as royal support of local industries, which again appeared to benefit the nobles in that area. Also, they would suppress…

    The King wanted to maintain order in his lands, and he wants to prove he is a worthy leader. According to Richard Morrison (doc. 7), who was a representative of Thomas Cromwell, a ruler has to be someone who is very wise, someone who has the ability to govern people in the right fashion. Cromwell believes that the King has the ability to do so; more so than the Pope. Since he believed this, Cromwell did not want a Pope to govern because he believed that the King was wiser, and that he would do a better job than the Pope. The governed should be happy with the fact that they have a wise ruler. Cromwell thinks that a wise ruler is necessary for the commonwealth. This is a viable fact because the common people would be much better off if they had a good leader than if they didn't. Cromwell may agree with this due to the fact that there have been very bad papal leaders in the past. Henry VIII (doc. 9) believes that he King has to be forgiving. After the march, the King excused those who were once against the church because he felt that everyone needs a second chance. If the marchers agreed to apologize and realize their mistakes, the King would simply…

    This openness with his audience allows King to better establish a connection to them. In an essay by John Guinan called “Speaking Personally,” Guinan analyses the landscape of his fathers and his conversations. He talks about how he was not as open with his father as his father was to him and how because of this there was a “chasm” between them (317)…

    1. The reason King was in Birmingham is because he was invited there as the president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and it was his duty to protest injustice and spread freedom through a nonviolent program. As King was invited by one of his affiliates at an official organization, he is not an outside, but more akin to an important guest. Even if the invitation had not occurred, it was still his duty, as the prophet of the “gospel of freedom” just as it was Paul’s duty to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.…

    Powers of the king.—The King, Louis XVI, was absolute. He ruled by the divine right theory which held that he had received his power to govern from God and was therefore responsible to God alone. He appointed all civil officials and military officers. He made and enforced the laws. He could declare war and make peace. He levied taxes and spent the people’s money as he saw fit. He controlled the expression of thought by a strict censorship of speech and press. By means of lettres de cachet (sealed letters which were really blank warrants for arrest) he could arbitrarily imprison anyone without trial for an indefinite period. He lived in his magnificent palace at Versailles, completely oblivious to the rising tide of popular discontent. . . .…

    The Clergy comprised of two groups’ i.e. the higher clergy and the lower clergy. The former managed the churches, monasteries and educational institutions so they did not pay any taxes to the monarch. They used the common people so the latter hated them. However, the lower clergy served the people and they lived a miserable life. The Nobility too did not pay any taxes to the king. There were two types of nobles, namely the Court nobles and the Provincial nobles. The Court nobles live an extravagant life and were indifferent to the difficulties of commoners. On the contrary, the Provincial nobles were concerned about the issues the people faced. The Third Estate mostly comprising of farmers, sweepers, lower classes had a very miserable life. They paid taxes and were even employed in fields by the clergies and nobles. Another class of the Third Estate was the Bourgeoisie that is, doctors, lawyers, teachers, businessmen, writers and philosophes. Though they had wealth and social prestige they were ranked by the French monarch as the Third Estate. So they influenced the people for revolution by inciting them about their rights.…
