2) Religious Influence: Ppl’s lives hard, but were attracted by promise of an after life.

Anglicanism will be source of continuous conflict)

Clergy

3) Feudalism: Kings couldn’t protect the ppl, so king would give land to nobles (lords), lords lend land to serfs (farmers) to work. Serfs pay lords, lords pay king.

4) Serfs: Bound to land, no improving their lives, no rights.

Serfs

4) English French Wars: Fight over religion + power. Kings needs money from nobles. Nobles demand King to give lords power in exchange.

5) Magna Carta (1215): King of England oppressed nobles, nobles revolted + forced king to limit his power. First time king’s power limited by written document.

“No freeman shall be taken, imprisoned,...or in any other way destroyed...except by the lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land. To no one will we sell, to none will we deny or delay, right or justice.”

-Magna Carta

King Total Power (Divine Rule)

Wars w France Cost $

Nobles Pay for War

Nobles Get Power from King

8) English Civil War(1642): King tried to close parliament. Nobles fought back under Oliver Cromwell. Nobles won, created a puritan republic.

King

Nobility

10) English Bill of Rights (1689): Repeats some of early docs (trials and say in taxes), but added right free speech in parliament, to bear arms, no cruel and unusual punishment, and no Catholic king.

US Bill of Rights (1789)copies this.

Review

Manga Carta (1215)

Nobles get right to jury in crimes.

English Petition of Rights (1628)

King must get nobles consent before being taxed.

English Bill of Rights (1689)

King must protect nobles right to freedom of speech, arms, and

from cruel & punishment.

England’s monarchs slowly lose power to the nobles. This is ONLY in England, in the rest of Europe, the monarchs were still absolute rulers

1600s, England was pushed into reforms by debt of wars and unhappy nobles. The rest of Europe would catch on during the “Enlightenment” and revolt out of a new powerful idea, the idea of “individual freedom.”

Notes #5b, Title: “Pre-Enlightenment Notes” 11) Enlightenment (Age of Reasoning, 1600-1800):

Start of Modern Era when reasoning/logic was widely applied all things. To discover natural solutions. FAITH THAT HUMANS THROUGH REASONING CAN MAKE LIFE BETTER.
