    Early modern Western Europe faced political changes from 1500-1750. These were based on three main political ideas: monarchy, balance of power, and religious reforms. The main type of government became monarchies, which had one main ruler and a parliament. The parliament was a group of state-elected legislatures, used to represent the citizens. Document five, Political Craft and Craftiness on page 420-421, explains the qualities that Machiavelli thought that a prince should have to be a proper prince. In the past, empires had one ruler and that was it, which meant that the citizens had no say in what was going on in the government. This made the process of law-making more fair than if just one person were making all of the decisions. Balance…

    Monarchy is defined as ‘a form of government with a monarch at the head’ and was the first arrangement of power in Rome after its founding by Romulus, who reigned from 753-715BC.1 However, by 510BC, the despotic actions of Tarquinius Superbus marked the end of a succession of increasingly tyrannical kings, and the ‘Roman Republic’ was established. This system was based on a sharing of power between, foremost, two consuls who were elected by the people and held office for only one year, then 300 senators, and two popular assemblies, the comitia curiata and the comitia centuriata. With such a spread of auctoritas, the Roman state would be at less risk from corrupt men with their aims set on an autocratic rule. The precepts of the Roman republic were honourable and upheld, in the most part, until the civil wars of 91BC onwards disturbed it, culminating in what many would consider the fall of the Republic, and thus the establishment of a monarchy, with Augustus at the battle of Actium on 2nd September 31BC.…

    The beginning for the direction of government and administration started with Julius Caesar wanting a centralized, imperial form of government. His plans did not span out with upset elite classes that led to his assassination. The elite men wanted to create a government that was not in their power, which led to conflict and chaos. Augustus, otherwise known as Octavian, ended the struggle and was the leader to start the imperial rule that was right for Rome. The government was disguised as a republic. Just as Caesar, Augustus ruled by centralizing political and military power. He preserved traditional republican offices and forms of government. Members of the Roman elite were also members of the government. Augustus accumulated vast power and took full responsibility for the important governmental functions. As a form of a bureaucracy, he was very careful to place individuals loyal to him…

    Between 1660 and 1775, Great Britain’s North American colonies were affected greatly by race, ethnicity and religion. The first settlers were predominantly white, ethnically, English, and religiously Protestant. The New World was home to many people who sought religious freedom. In addition, the demand of new market and new forces of labor created an opportunity for new races and ethnicities to colonize America. New forces of race, ethnicity and religion show how colonial society was a melting pot compared to any other country in the world. After Queen Elizabeth won the struggle for religious dominance against the Roman Catholics, Protestantism became the main religion in England. Catholics went to the New World to escape religious persecution. Lord Baltimore, a rich catholic, had set out to create refuge for his fellow Catholics so he found Maryland. However, Catholics were not safe from the Protestant immigrants. In 1649, the Act Concerning Religion was passed by the Maryland colony. This act states that no one that believes in Jesus Christ should be in any way troubled or disliked for or in respect to his religion. As seen in Document D, the South is very heavily populated by African- Americans. The reason for this high population was for slavery. Most slaves harvested the cash crop of the South which was tobacco.…

    From the 1200’s BCE to 1300 AD, empires grew into existence and fell to destruction. They changed the systems of politics and warfare, shifting through different styles of warfare and uses for the armies they built. Most empires had some sort of military force used to conquer, expand and protect their lands from “barbarians” or certain nomadic people groups. Some empires though, such as the Mongols, Chinese, and those that were apart of the Islamic Empire had specific and vast changes to their military’s role and origin over time.…

    The period circa 600 B.C.E. to 600 C.E. can be seen as a time dominated by the imperial expansion and consolidation of power of several empires. Across the world, empires popped up, and existing empires were given the capability of expanding greatly. Of these, the two preeminent empires at this time were the Roman Empire and those located in China (e.g. the Han). While not close to each other geographically, both the Chinese Empires and the Roman Empire successfully created their powerful empires through themes of a strong central government, the use of technology, and the success of cultural unity.…

    After World War I, European countries were devastated. Europeans were disappointed in their old governments; they felt that they had failed them by causing the war and catapulting them into a depression. Destroyed, they turned away from democratic governments and supported communism and fascism simply to avoid democracy. Others were intellectually lost and desperate for leadership. The government encouraged the people’s support by instilling irrational fears amongst their citizens and promising to free them from it. Once the governments had gained support, people began to see the power that their authoritarian governments had gained. Their desire to have a strong and united nation took control and the motivation to support an authoritarian…
