Absolutism & Enlightenment Readings & Checkpoints
Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we start a reading, the questions will be due the next day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available after school for homework (unless there are other instructions). The Google Forms online correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.
The Enlightenment
While much of Europe was moving toward absolute monarchy, the triumph of Parliament sent England down a different path. The Scientific Revolution, too, helped change the course of political thought in Europe. Thinkers began to believe that the natural laws that controlled the universe might also explain human behavior. Scholars used reason and natural laws to study culture and society. This period is known as the Enlightenment.
