Absolute deviation

absolutism as a governing force to rule their lands. During the reign of Louis XIV, Jean Domat wrote a profound document in which he addressed all areas of government and outlined what he believed to be the tenets of an absolute monarchy. This document, entitled “On Social Order and Absolute Monarchy” defined what he believed to be the basis of absolutism and class structure in regards to the law of God and the law of nature. Absolutism is as form of government where unrestricted, complete power…

Crayfish are freshwater crustaceans that use their claws called chelipeds,for warning off predators. When frightened, these crayfish lift their chelipeds to make threatening gestures, all while moving backwards or staying still. We examined how long it would take for crayfish to calm down once removed from the water and if the temperature had any influence to this observation. To do this, we placed two crayfishes in room temperature water and another two in colder water for an interval of five…

The Effect of Cellular Respiration at Low and High Temperatures Introduction Cellular respiration can include two processes, aerobic respiration and anaerobic respiration. The main purpose of cellular respiration is to breakdown sugars into smaller structures so that the cell can use it as energy (Reece, et al. 2014). The main concept of the respiration lab is aerobic respiration. This is the process that organic compounds will be degraded from oxygen to produce water, carbon dioxides, and…

To the people of Fontenay-le-Comte, I thank you all for having provided me with the opportunity to represent you in the National Assembly. In the past few months, I had listened to and voted on each proposition with only your best interest in mind. Despite my efforts, not only have we lost the National Assembly, we have lost our beloved country of France to Austro-Prussia. Despite the loss of our country, I write to you in good faith that the invasion and takeover of France will in fact greatly…

However, soon it all turned downhill and into shambles, until Napoleon rose to power and stabilized France again. Napoleon did become a dictator, but it was not absolute monarchy because he set many laws and rules and gave rights to people that he actually followed, which absolute monarchs didn’t do, since they thought their actions had no boundaries and didn’t feel the need to follow ant rules or laws. Napoleon also spread the positive aspects of the French Revolution…

Frederick the Great became king of Prussia in 1740, his reign as absolute monarch was unique and unlike no other. An absolute monarch is a king or queen whose actions are restricted neither by written law nor by custom. The goals of an absolute monarch are to create a successful army, improve the economy, centralize government, and pacify nobility. These are all important because they make the country stronger and more successful because they can protect themselves, make money, and have a strong…

matter who is in office. This criticism begins with the president, and spirals all the way down to city mayors and public office persons. Several lines later, Arias again states, “You should redoubt the power of a king…Remember, kings wish to be absolute.” This, as Corneille writes constitutes a bad king. This not only exemplifies a bad king, but also portrays a tyrant. If one is afraid of the actions of the king, as well as how much power the king has, then the king simply has too much…

authority in the state rested in the hands of a king who claimed to rule by divine right the idea that kings received their power from God and were responsible to no one but God. Catherine The Great and Tokugawa Ieyasu were both known as prominent absolute rulers but, Ieyasu was a more effective absolutist ruler. Tokugawa controlled his country by reasonable means that wouldn’t cause uprisings and distrust while still being the only one to make decisions for the country. Catherine was simply…

An absolute monarchy could only be successful under the leadership of an extraordinary ruler who had complete power over his people. An absolute monarch should be able to overachieve the abundance of obstacles placed in front of him. King Louis XIV was able to obtain much of his prodigious power by creating a new, modernized army. Louis was an exceptional mastermind at trade and he had dramatically increased France’s revenue. These actions allowed him to have the unique ability to create such a…

In the later portion of the 1600’s, the monarchical systems of both England and France were changing. England strayed away from an absolute monarch and ran toward a mightier parliament instead. The opposite was occurring in France as Louis XIV strengthened his own office while weakening the general assembly of France, the Estates General. Absolutism, the political situation in which a monarch controls makes all political, social, economic, and cultural decisions in a government without checks or…
