Rein of terror and Robespierre

The image “http://endtimepilgrim.org/guillotine3.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.It occurred fifteen months after the French Revolution. Ranging from 16,000 to 40,000 deaths. It was the Rein of terror that appeared to chop many heads off. It was a blade that hung on the top of a rectangular Guillotine. At the bottom had the hole, and where they put the heads so the blade could come down and chop the head off. Many famous people died from the Guillotine, like Marie-Antoinette, the Girondins Philippe Egalite, and Madam Roland.
The Guillotine became a symbol of executions. Its because the Girondines and the Jacobins hated each other and had "Enemies of the Revolution".There were twelve members in the public safety community. Robespierre became the dominant member.
Their aim was to eliminate all internal counterrevolutionary elements, to raise new armies, and to assure food supplies for the armies and cities. Some of their measures were demanded by the people of Paris, whose support was essential. Also the police and committee of General security took that responsibility of the Guillotine.

The French Revolution

The image “http://sun3.lib.uci.edu/jariel/frenchrevolution.gif” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.1)A)People were so critical against Nobility(The second Estate), because they were rich and didn't need to pay taxes. They can also hold position such as being officers in the army. They almost had complete power in peasants and did not have to do military service. Nobles lived in palaces and luxury chateaux.
B)Through the local officials and ministers they ruled absolutely everything. (Also known as ruling all of France and the parliament=states General).
C)The Clergy is the first estate which covers 100,000 people in France. They are very much related to the Nobles. Which means the rules are the same. Like the hold positions in officers, they don't need to pay taxes, complete power in peasants. But they are part of the Church.

2)The Male peasent didnt have enoufh land, money, had to pay wheat, chickens, oats, and pence. Plus heavy taxes from the king. The woman peasent didnt like that so she gets grumbled.

3)This Picture and caption is representing a peasent carrying a federal lord plus the Clergy. Which means hes gotta pay taxes and do rules due to what the clergy and the federal lord say. The caption many talks about the peasent wants hope that this suffering will end and become free of rules.

4)The female gets angry due to the statues of the male peasent. He barly has money and needs to pay federal lord and clergy many things.

John Locke and "The Enlightenment

The image “http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fa/Locke-John-LOC.jpg/225px-Locke-John-LOC.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.John Locke had many ideas on the constitution. He was also an oxford scholar, Medical researcher and Physician, Political operative, Economist and Ideologue. Back then he said that all men were created from Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. People govern their own lives and have the power to change. It would most likely people would have problems with their safety and happiness. their would always be evil on every corner, but their would be security, protection against those crimes. People has their own power of governing themselves. Humans had the right to do what they can unless their is security patrolling the place. The king of Great Britain wanted to tyranny other colonies. But that was not part of the constitution. So the only thing he was doing was injuries and usurpation's. But then they wanted to create a new government. A government that would organize their powers and life (Not meant to control them but to help the people).Tax would be paid to the goverment for power.

The trial of Galileo

Galileo studied Astronomy with a telescope. He found out that geocentric (Copernican) Theory was a false statement. He realized that instead of the planets circuling the Earth, Its the plantes revolvein the Sun. He found out by looking at the Moon and the Sun. The Sun dosent move the whole day while the Moon moves the oppisite way.
Geocentric:Earth was at the center while the rest of the planets revolved around it. The Sun was named as a planet also the moon. The person that made that theory was Alexandia that lived in Egypt. Afterwards Greeks, Muslims and Christians worked on the theory and made conclusions saying all planets revolved around the Earth.
Heliocentric: The Earth is placed at the middle and planets revolved around it.
Copernicus made that theory centeries ago. He was a Polish Astronomer. What helped him make that hypothesis was the Stars. That made him prove about the Heliocentric Theory.
The Heliocentric came first which was made centries ago. 1543.
The trail started in
1633, when the Catholic Church didn't wanted to belive in Galileo.

Scientific Revolution: Scientific Method

The scientific method is a way scientist observe, test, and prove that that theory is correct. Scientists observe and take notes of what they are visualizing. Then they make a theory of how it works and what is it made of. The theory then gets experimented with a couple of test and subjects. If the theory gets accepted, then it becomes a law of science. For example: scientists experiments on animals like mices, plants, ETC. One scientific law is Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion, are three mathematical laws that describe the motion of planets in the solar system.

Evolution vs. Creation

Theory of Evolution: The evolution of species coming from the parents. The plants and other animals are related to each other. Humans evolve from animals and life changes around. Natural selection takes place where animals gets chosen to stay in the environment. The other animals get thrown out, because they are not accepted and either survive on their own or die of starvation. All of natures policy could malfunction and disembark. Life is made by creation and evolution.

Creationism: Everything is created by one God. Life was created by one person that is invincible and created all humanity. He gave ideas and rules to his followers that would their soul for God. There is the Koran, that God told his follower to write what he tells him to write in one huge book. There are many Religions but they all believe in one God. The only difference is that the language is different to say God.
