Also the Execution of King Louis XVI was another important event in the French Revolution. After the National Assembly rebuilt the relationship between church and state, Louis’s advisers warned him that he is in danger. Many people who were pro monarchy, left France because they felt it was not safe anymore. There were some people outside of France that did not support the French Revolution and wanted Louis XVI back to power as the king. Therefore he and his family attempted to escape France and get help from other countries to put him back to power. In June 1791, King Louis XVI and his family tried to escape to Austria. As they approached the border, they got arrested and were returned to Paris. *Before Louis had attempted to escape, the French people did not really hate him, but they just wanted him to support the revolution and have some power. After he tried to escape, the people saw him as a traitor to the country and started to hate him. The hatred started the future attacks on Louis and also caused the monarchy to diminish completely. If this event did not happen, the hatred towards

During the XVII century, most of the European countries were ruled by more or less absolute Monarchy. Born in 1638, Louis XIV will have the longest reign out of all French ruler ( 72 years). A few years later, while Louis XIV’s reign was at his apogee, another important ruler of this era get to the throne: Peter the Great. Both of these rulers, known for being an absolute monarch, have been influenced by the traumatic event of their childhood. For Louis XIV, it was the insurrection of the nobility against the royal power, known as the Fronde; Forced to flee Paris, he will hold a grudge against this feudal power . As for Peter The Great, it was the rebellion led by his step-sister, after the death of his brother with whom he ruled as Tsar, that will influence his way of ruling the kingdom.

After the execution of King Louis XVI, France was without a monarchy and the new revolutionary government ruled over all. However, the chaos was not even close to being over. As it became apparent that the new government wasn’t universally loved and had enemies within and outside of France, the Reign of Terror began. The Reign of Terror was a series of extreme methods and events the French Revolutionary Government put in motion during the revolution. As armies sent by both Prussian and Austrian monarchies approached the border, and fear rose within the people of France, the government took action.

The execution of Louis XVI marked the beginning of an 18 month period in France known as the Reign Of Terror. The Reign Of Terror happened during the French Revolution from September 5, 1793 to July 27, 1794. The French were fighting enemies of the revolution, like normal civilians. During the terror, the government had control of almost everything, like the economy, religion, and rules or laws. This drove many people to revolt against the government, causing the Reign Of Terror. From the evidence and the documents provided, the Reign Of Terror was not justified because the acts from the government taking action against the fighters of the revolution like death, the churches being closed by the government, and the rights taken from the people of France during this time.

After the death of King Lois and Marie Antoinette, there was a 10-month period of violence and rage; this was labeled the “Reign of Terror”. The French people became so lost in their rage that they forgot what they were fighting for. The Revolution became more about revenge than an improved resolution to the monarchy. We would see later that this eventually led them back into a monarchy with the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte as he conquered France and its surroundings.

With the rise of Donald Trump in the United States and of European far right wing parties (some with fascist tendencies) we are seeing a new rise of conservatism in the western world in the last years. Why has this happened so fast? Is a natural tendency that follows too liberal and progressive governments?

The media has always played an important role in the President’s relationship with the public, but just what kind of affect does it really have on the executive office? The first televised presidential debate in 1960 between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon marked the beginning of a new era – the inaugural shift of the media’s role in politics. Since that time, the media has continued to transform the way the president is perceived by the public through print, broadcast, and more recently, social media. All of said outlets have played vital roles in not only a president’s campaign, but also in their presidency and likability throughout their time in office. While the White House is still the source of most presidential news, the media are the shapers of the story and can frame it pretty much any way they want. There used to be limits on certain issues or realms of the presidency that were to remain untouched, however, first amendment freedoms take precedence over almost any restriction the government could try to place on the media. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between the media and the president throughout recent years, looking briefly into the past to establish the scale of the dramatic change, and to study their reciprocal connection of how each utilizes the other.

With the impending election looming closer and closer, the approach of the presidential throne seems to elicit a plethora of opinions on who is the most viable candidate. However, the candidate that has caused controversy at every angle possible is none other than Donald Trump. Famous for his extreme affluence and most notably his TV drama, The Apprentice, President-elect Donald Trump has integrated his unctuous persona into his campaign. The San Diego Union Tribune’s article on Donald Trump, “…Great Power and Greater Irresponsibility”, introduces us with the possibility that Donald Trump is not the “Make America Great American” man he claims to be, and in fact he is the exact opposite. While for some Americans, his aversion to political correctness is admirable and induces a strong support; many are adverse to his social conduct and view his idiosyncrasies polar to the fabric of the Constitution. The article brings forth a target audience of both non-supporters and supporters alike in grave attempt to eradicate this supposed allure of Trump.

In a particularly harsh and surprising article on the typically conservative Wall Street Journal editorial page, the writer voices his anger with Trump’s dubitable claims that British Intelligence wiretapped President Trump on behalf of the Obama administration. He concludes his article with the statement, “Two months into his Presidency, Gallup has Mr. Trump’s approval rating at 39 percent. No doubt Mr. Trump considers that fake news, but if he doesn’t show more respect for the truth, most Americans may conclude he’s a fake President.” While this is an especially severe statement, according to the aforementioned Fox News poll, the majority of people “think it’s better for the country if the news media ‘cover the president aggressively.’” The result of this poll is compatible with the public’s positive response to the Supreme Court’s ruling in New York Times v. United States. With the new administration, freedom of the press will remain at the forefront as questions continue to arise about what type of press is best for the

King Louis XVI, also known as Louis Capet, but most recognizable as the worst French king in history, had done much to humiliate and demolish France. Of course, this feat was not accomplished without the help of his pompous wife, Marie Antoinette. From childhood, Louis was already showing signs of the pushover he would be later on in life. While he himself wasn’t an absolutely atrocious ruler (he was actually considered to be a very kind, timid king), the people he allowed to rule his life managed to put an entire country into a horrible situation. A reason may have been because he didn’t want to be the king in the first place, which means he allowed practically whoever he wanted to do as they pleased. His poor management of the royal court, refusal to pass necessary parlements, and the often frivolous and capricious image of the Queen combined to successfully tarnish the image of the king and monarchy. He lived a lavish life while the vast majority of France starved. Above all, he simply allowed the French Revolution to occur (which would lead to the Reign of Terror) and did nothing to try and stop it. In the history of France, it’s understandable why Louis XVI was considered the worst king to ever rule.

In the 7 years war, the French fought with Austria against Britain and Prussia. The French lost

8/23/1754, King Louis was born. He came up in full fitness but he was very shy. French noblemen taught him, and he also studied religion, morality, and humanities. Louis loved physical activities like hunting and wrestling, at an early age he took delight in locksmithing that became a life-long hobby. Louis parents gave little notice to him, because their attention was on his 9 year older brother that passed away. So on December 20, 1765, Louis farther died from tuberculosis, afterwards at the age of 11 Louis became Dauphin. Louis mother never came around from the family loses and also was taken by 3/13/1767 from tuberculosis.

I believe Louis is to blame for the nature of the Revolution in the sense of his indecisiveness people drew themselves away from him and his reputation began to diminish by that. I don’t think it was the revolutionary’s intent to overthrow the monarchy, but when public opinion began to grow that Louis isn’t fit to be king the idea spread. When the king did turn up missing I think it’s fair to say that it was the first time in which the 3rd estate showed feelings publicly how they resented a king and aristocrats. I think that originally revolutionaries planned on keeping a monarchy intact but they wanted equal rights and to limit the kings some. It wasn’t until he and the queen fled where they idea of getting rid of a monarchy altogether came into play.

The Royal Family of France’s attempted escape on June 20th, 1791 made many people very unhappy with the King. The mob, ever ready to exercise the uncontrolled Rights of Men, made a mock parade of the King’s Arms in the market places, and, dashing them and the figure of a crown to the ground, they trampled upon them, crying out, “Since the King has abandoned what he owed to his high situation, let us trample upon the ensigns of royalty” (Ascherson 48)! The Royal Family not only lost many of its followers through their attempted escape, but also because King Louis XVI kept making bad decisions, ones that had no benefit to France or its people. The people wanted someone who would lead them into a revolution and change France for the better, not because they wanted the power, but because they believed in France and wanted it to become a great nation. That man was Robespierre, who after the flight of the King followed the Jacobin club in its move toward republicanism. He called for universal male suffrage and the end of property qualifications for voting and office holding (Blumberg 290). Robespierre wanted to make France a republic, a government for the people and by the people, a country where everyone had the freedoms and rights they deserved. In January of 1793, Robespierre voted on whether or not he thought that King Louis should be executed for his actions. At the Convention on the trial

While I value all of my civil liberties, some are more applicable to my everyday life than others. In my experience, the ideal of free speech is most important. Growing up with the constant presence of social media has proved both helpful and worrisome. More quickly than ever before, information is circulating, often breeding mass hysteria and outrage. The trend towards “fake news,” unsubstantiated claims made into clickbait titles, is undermining the education and level-headedness of Americans as well as the perception of trust in the media. Recently, Buzzfeed News, a notorious left-leaning source, published an article about Donald Trump hiring prostitutes to urinate on bed that Obama had slept in in Russia. This story, explosive and highly
