Political Impacts Of The French Revolution

The French Revolution was a time of great social, political and economic tumult in the closing years of the Eighteenth Century. The motivators pushing French citizenry toward revolution are varied in scope and origin. They range from immediate economic woes to an antiquarian class structure. Modern historians still debate the value of the changes that the revolution brought to modern society. The middle class made gains that would never be rescinded, but do revolutions always end in tyranny? In the years before the revolution citizens were rigidly constrained by the estates of the realm. These social strata had been in place since the medieval ages. The people were divided into three groups; clergy, nobility and everyone else. The clergy

Over the course of the years, society has been reformed by new ideas of science. We learn more and more about global warming, outer space, and technology. However, this pattern of gaining knowledge did not pick up significantly until the Scientific Revolution. In the sixteenth and seventeenth century, the Scientific Revolution started, which concerned the fields of astronomy, mechanics, and medicine. These new scientists used math and observations strongly contradicting religious thought at the time, which was dependent on the Aristotelian-Ptolemy theory. However, astronomers like Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo, and Newton accepted the heliocentric theory. Astronomical findings of the Scientific Revolution disproved the fact that humans were

The enlightenment era swept west Europe during the 18th century paving the way for new ideas and creating challenges among beliefs. The scientific revolution gave people new knowledge that allowed them to articulate their own views and not just what the church believed. During the scientific revolution scientists challenged the church and gave way to the enlightenment period. the enlightenment period people used reason to support theories and ideas. It created movements for evolutions in human beings rights and evolved the level of equality among races, classes, and genders.

Among these people were Copernicus who believed the sun was at the center of the world and the earth, stars and planets revolved around it. Danish astronomer Brahe helped contribute to this idea by contributing a large mass of data about the universe that he was able to discover. His student Kepler kept his ideas going, as he formulated many laws of planetary motion. He said the orbits around the sun were elliptical, planets don’t move in a uniform speed and the time a planet completes its orbit is related to its distance from the sun. Meanwhile, Florentine Galileo decided to use experiments to find out what happened and not what should happen, and discovered that a uniform force makes a uniform acceleration as well as inertia laws, that an object will be in motion forever unless stopped by another force.

The Europeans not only expanded their land and economy they were also expanding their minds with new ways of thinking such as “Enlightenment”. Major ideas of the actual 18th century "Enlightenment" had a lot to do with democratic ideals, a reduced influence of Christian Church doctrine in government, and overall "progress" of humankind. The Enlightenment was the product of a vast set of cultural and intellectual changes in Europe during the 1500s and 1600s changes that in turn produced the social values that permitted the Enlightenment to sweep through Europe in the late 1600s and 1700s. One of the most important of these changes was the

Theme: The Scientific Revolution in the seventeenth century did not only change the human’s perception of the natural world, but also changed people’s way of thought. As a result of the scientific revolution, people began to use logic to establish social institutions and governments. The Age of Enlightenment was an intellectual movement that took place in the eighteenth century, in which reason, social reforms, and government advanced. Both, the Scientific Revolution and The Age of Enlightenment led to more secularism and individual freedom in Europe.

During the 1600’s there was an outstanding advancement, the Scientific Revolution. Everyone had open up to the idea of science and was going away from the church. Scientist were finding out that what they had thought before was wrong, by proving that it could not be possible. People were trying to better understand the universe and how it worked. Some scientist were more curious than others, which lead to make discovery and advancement of further progress science. Johannes Kepler discovered motion of the planets, changed the way people consider about the universe.

For example, Galileo, an Italian scientist made one of the first telescopes. He observed the sky and rightly believed that he was able to confirm Copernicus’s theory(Alchin); he turned the telescope to the Heavenly bodies and observed that the sun moves on its axis, Venus shows phases according to her position with the sun. He also believed that Jupiter had revolving moons or satellites that moved around it, and the Milky Way was composed of a multitude of separate stars(Alchin). Another scientist was Kepler; he worked out the mathematical laws that govern movements of planets, and made it clear that the planets revolve around the sun in an elliptical orbit instead of circular orbits. His investigations later led to the discovery of the principle of gravity(Alchin). Vesalius was a scientist, who gave the world the first careful description of the Human Body based on actual dissections and was the founder of human anatomy, which has become an important part of health in today’s society(Alchin). Additionally, Harvey was an Englishman who observed living animals and announced the discovery of circulation of blood in the body. He founded Human Physiology, which greatly impacts us even today(Alchin). Furthermore, magnetism was a large discovery that had a big impact during the Elizabethan Era and times to

Before Newton talked about gravitation the main knowledge of scientists was a elementary knowledge of optics, mechanics and astronomy.Copernicus Kepler and Galileo provided the background knowledge of the stars and planets, but Newton used their data to discover the whole gravitational system.10Newton reasoned that the planets and all other physical objects in the universe moved through mutual attraction of gravity.Newton said that every other object in the universe affected every other object through gravity.This explained why the planets move in an orderly fashion. Newton found that “the force of gravity towards the whole planet did arise from and was compounded of the forces of gravity towards all it’s parts, and towards every one part was in the inverse proportion of the squares of the distances from this part.”Newton proves all of this mathematically. This was known to be the single most important contribution to physics that ever has been made.11

Johannes Kepler was a true reflection of how the renaissance changed human thinking and developed into the rule of "humanism”. Kepler was a mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, and philosopher in the late 1500s and early 1600s. He reflected the main ideals of observing, experimenting and secularism, which are scientific methods that we still use today to inquire more about our world. He helped create the Renaissance idea that the universe was comprehensible through scientific exploration, and set the stage for Isaac Newton's work. He not only discovered and developed the copernican theory, but also created his own on which he discovered that each visible planet in our solar system moved in an elliptical orbit observed by Tycho Brahe.

the evolution of the societies in numerous countries brought different consequences on the human species. One of the influences of development was the massive demand of the agricultural resources. The slavery phenomenon was the repercussion of it. The Slavery Convention wrote the first slavery definition as “the status or condition of a person over whom any or all of the powers attaching to the rights of ownership are exercised. “ This essay will argue about the French revolution which had a direct repercussion in Haiti and the United State of America. One of the repercussions is the condition of slavery. It is important to understand that slavery did not start from the French Revolution. This essay will be in three sections: the first paragraph

Johannes Kepler was an astronomer born in 1571. His research played a maor role in discovering how the our solar system is composed and functions. Kepler developed three laws of planetary motion. The first law explains that the solar system is heliocentric, or sun centered. This law says that the planets orbit the sun in a eliptical manner. He was able to conclude this through his observations and mathematic ability. Kepler's second law explains the suns motion relative to the orbiting planets. The planets are orbiting the sun in an elipitcal manner; Kepler figured out that in a given time of movement, a line drawn through the sun and the planet will cover the same area of the elipses as one another. The third law is about planets' orbital

The period 1815-1914 in Europe was important, as it was the time of the growth of constitutional government, however events from the French Revolution had a significant impact on the 19th century Europe. French revolutions has began when in 1774 Louise XVI had to deal with a financial crisis cause by 'seven year 's war '. Louise XVI had agreed to summon 'Estate-General ', which represented the clergy, nobles and the Third Estate(the commoners). Inspired by the issues with the voting system of the estate-general, the third assembly has called themselves National Assembly, and threatened to proceed without the clergy and nobles if necessary. On 9 of July 1789 under king 's agreement clergy and nobles has joined the assembly, which was officially called National Constituent Assembly. On the 4 of august 1789 the assembly issued a 'Declaration of the Rights of Man ', which stated that the nation, not the monarchy, was the superior authority, and that the elected representatives of the state would proclaim liberty and equality for the citizens, the right to property and to resit oppression. In respond to peasant riots and attacks on chateaux, the assembly abolished feudalism. By the 1792 both radicals, full of hope to spread the ideas of the Revolution, and the king, optimistic that war would either improve his authority or support from foreign armies. As both agreed in April 20, 1792 France proclaimed a war against Austria. Louise XVI hoped that the war would strengthen his

The given interpretation 'Between 1789 and 1815 supporters of the French Revolution posed no threat to the established order of Britain' suffers from a few problems . Firstly it suggests supporters posed ‘no serious threat’ however it does not elaborate on what a ‘serious’ threat actually is. Secondly it covers a 26 year period ‘1789-1815’ which is a long time and numerous things could change within this period, Britain goes to war with France and the ‘industrial revolution’ begins which would suggest things would not be as black and white as there never being a threat at all. While a few bits of evidence do support this interpretation, a better alternative would be ‘supporters of the French

Inspired by Brahe’s inaccurate measurements, mathematician Johannes Kepler of Germany tried to continue working with Brahe’s calculations but the 8 arc minute flaw encouraged him keep searching. Kepler was a strong believer in the Copernican model. He was not convinced though of the circular path. After much research Kepler proposed an elliptical orbit. Using Brahe’s extensive notes he was able to conclude that an elliptical orbit was in fact correct. Using this he was able to develop the Three Laws of Planetary motions: The first law states the orbit of every planet is an ellipse with the sun at one of its focal points; the second states that line joining the sun and a planet sweeps out at equal areas at every point on its orbit; and the third equates the time it takes a planet to orbit the sun and the distance from the sun to the planet. These three laws are still commonly used today.
