The French Revolution

1) Many people where critical in France because nothing was fair. Everything had to do with who was higher then the other. They were trying to out vote the 3rd estate since they were regular civilians. And they begged that they wouldnt do so. The king and the first two estates would have nothing of that so delegates from the third estate got together and created the National Assembly. They hoped that the National Assembly could pass new laws and reforms in the name of the French people.

2) A French peasent mite have grumbled that things werent fair and that they hated these people.

3) I think this picture is trying to say that one day all the unfair treatment will stop and they will all be treated equally and there will be food and the prices will go down and they will all be able to eat and be healthy.

4) A French peasant had it bad. Because one they didnt have enough to survive off of. And mostly because the King would still take money from there not a little but a little knowing their situation.

5) Yes it shows how messed up their lifes really were. ANd how messed up the King was.

6) The peasents of France would agree because they are the ones getting treated unfairly. And everyone has their rights and these people were just selfish and thought about what was benefiting them.

7) The Wealthy Nobles would be against them. And they banned it because there group was leading everything.

Evolution VS. Creation

Evolution - Darwins theory of evolution was that all life is related. And has descended from a common ancestor. Such as birds, and the bananas the fishes and the flowers. He believed that we came from monkeys. Our features are just alike as there's. Darwins general theory presumes the development of life from non - life and stresses a purely naturalistic "descent with modification". That is complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time.
Creation - Creationism is the religious belief that humanity, life, and the universe was created in their original form by deity. The people who believed in creation disliked the people who believed in evolution. They found it disrespectful to find out that they were trying to make people belief in something that they did not believe in.
I personally believe in creation. This is the religious way of trying to figure out life. And how we became what we are now. Yeah of course theres always doubts about which one to believe in but everything happens for a reason. And i dont think we came from monkeys etc. They should be considered a different species. And this is why i believe in creation . =]

John Locke and "The Enlightenment"

The rights that Thomas Jefferson is talking about is that all men are created equally. Meaning they are all the same no matter what and they shall all be treated the same. Also liberty and the pursuit of happiness.Also that whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to make a new government.

The power of the government comes from the people from the community, country etc. Without the choice of the civilians there would not be a government. They get to choose who they think will be best and help their situation out. And if there is a problem its the peoples problem to fix it because it is their government. It all depends on them. The government needs the approval of the people in order to make these rules etc.

Scientific Revolution: The Scientific Method

The scientific method is the best way to discover if your predictions are correct or not. In the process of doing the scientific method you must start off with observing the experiment. Then you must create a hypothesis which is when you predict what will occur in the experiment. After predicting you must test your hypothesis to prove if it is correct or if it incorrect. And then you must repeat the last 2 steps again if your experiment is incorrect to try to figure out the correct answer.
The scientific method is best defined as a careful, disciplined, logical search for knowledge about any and all aspects of the universe obtained by examinations.
The good thing about the scientific method is that it is unprejudiced. We don't have to believe any one about anything. We can use the scientific method and find out for ourselves. And if you make a mistake you can always go back and redo the experiment until you get the correct answer. The scientific method is the process by which scientist or whoever is doing an experiment collectively and over time endeavor to construct an accurate representation of the word.
The scientific method does not always work. There are still plenty of things out there that have not been discovered. It is not 100% accurate. But most of the time it can help find the answer to your problems and to your hypothesis.
