Kings And Sovereign Rulers : The Dynastic Queen Of The United Kingdom

A common phrase is “History is written by the victors”. Perhaps that is the reason why King George III of England is remembered as being the mad king who lost the American colonies. However, there is more to the king than what the rebel colonists made him out to be. King George’s reign of nearly 60 years was full of hardships and setbacks, yet he was a hard worker who was kind and looked out for the welfare of his empire.

The three leaders I decided to write about are Ramses II, Caesar, and Alexander the Great. Each one of these kings were good in their own way however, also bad in other ways. Ramses II was born in 1303 BCE and died in 1213 BCE. He was the third pharaoh from Egypt in the Nineteenth Dynasty. Caesar was born in 100 BCE in Rome and died in 44 BCE. He made the Roman Empire possible. Lastly, Alexander the Great was born in 356 BCE in Macedon and died in 323 BCE. He was the king of the Ancient Greece. All three of these kings ruled in their own ways, but if I had to choose my one favorite, it would be…

Justice is described as a concept of moral rightness based on ethics, rationality, law, natural law, religion, fairness, or equity. The people of ancient Egypt and ancient Mesopotamia also believed and relied on this concept. Rulers, if not fair and just, were often eliminated by their subjects or their enemies. There were many great kings and pharaohs of the ancient age that were just to their kingdoms, and these often went down in history. Yet, those kings and pharaohs who were blinded by their own selfishness often became just as famous. Two men, Akhenaten of ancient Egypt and Gilgamesh, king of Uruk, were such rulers. They were powerful and cunning individuals, yet they let their own selfish nature ruin the ability to be a great

In addition, a king was expected to be a role model to his people. He was a symbol of human perfection for his subjects to emulate like in our president today.

Catherine the Great is a absolute monarchy the reason why Catherine the Great is a absolute monarchy is because she intended on modernizing her country. She had ruled as the Empress of Russia more than thirty years after Peter III (husband) had been murdered but however Peter the Great had been using force. But Catherine decided to establish reforms that would improve the Russians society that wouldn't require her to use force on her people.

Hobbes, you are adamant in the claim that an absolute monarchy is the best type of government. However, it is clear that too much power in the hands of one individual will lead to corruption. You believe that people are prone to corruption and wrong deeds. With power solely rested on the divine rulers shoulders, should he fail, the nation will crumble. This kind of government could be toppled very easily, and a lack of a stable system set up in place should the monarch die would mean chaos would run rampant throughout the nation.

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, kingship is defined as, “the position, office, or dignity of the king.” Mesopotamia and Egypt were the first to practice and recognize kingship however, both dynasties illustrate the responsibilities of a “king” in varying ways. Both dynasties developed kingship to enact a cordial society that promoted morality.

He ultimately had control but also was advised and helped. In today's government we have a president who has people under him just like Babylonian kings. The government in Babylonia influenced ours today and helped shape and model our government structure.

In our two stories, The Epic of Gilgamesh and Antigone, the people are ruled by imposing monarchs: Gilgamesh and Creon, respectively, who each use their power in differing ways. While Gilgamesh has “arrogance [having] no bounds by day or night,” (62), Creon, king of Thebes and protagonist in Antigone, admits that his worthiness in leadership will only be proven in action (140-42). Creon wants to be an ideal ruler, stating that as “supreme guardian of the State” he will always put the common welfare above friendship, and consider those who do not help the country prosper to be enemies. Gilgamesh, who “sounds the tocsin [alarm bell] for his amusement” and takes virgins from their lovers (62, 68), is uncaring and

Was Alexander the great, was a great ruler. You can tell this because spared Thebans who went against him, he built a magnificent city and center for learning, and conquered his enemies/rebels.

During the Middle Ages, developing monarchies had difficulties forming because of the nobility and church. However, there were specific differences between problems with the monarchs and nobles, and the conflicts with the church. The problem that monarchies had with the church was the fact that the church was the main ruling factor during this time. The church also claimed papal supremacy, which made it hard for the monarchy to form any power because all the people believed what the pope said was true.
