WORLD HISTORY-B

Due: Apr 7, 2023 by 2:03pm

Overview: This reading activity will help you understand what the term "Sovereignty" means, and how the definition has changed over time. Though most people saw "sovereignty" as something important, different people defined the term in different ways. Also, some people were seen as "having" sovereignty, while other people didn't have it. This helps us see who society valued, and who they did not value.

Purpose: The idea of "Sovereignty" is something we are going to talk about for the rest of this course. This is one of the MOST important assignments for World History B because of how much we are going to talk about "sovereignty" in this class, and how much it relates to our current world. If there is one assignment to take your time with and be extra detailed on, this is the one.

Directions: Answer the following questions about Sovereignty using the reading. Answer each question using at least 2 complete, thorough, and detailed sentences. All responses must be in your own words. Important words to pay attention to in the questions are bolded. Submit your responses in a text box on Canvas.

Due Date: To Canvas by 2:03pm, Friday April 7th.

Questions:

1) According to the reading, what is sovereignty? Include the reading's definition, and re-phrasing the definition in your own words.

2) Who was considered "a Liberal"? How did "Liberals" define sovereignty differently than Absolute Monarchs? Give a specific example.

3) What were the limits of "popular sovereignty" during the 18th century? Who was included? Who was excluded?

4) How are sovereignty and equality different?

5) During the time of absolutism and the enlightenment, few children got to go to school. Sending one's children to school instead of putting them to work to earn money was a privilege. Sons of wealthy, landowning families were the ones most likely to get to go to school. Does knowing this change how you feel about your education? If yes, how has your view changed? If no, why did your view not change?
