Europe After Napoleon

After Napoleon was defeated the Europeans were looking to establish long-lasting peace. The European leaders at the congress of Vienna tired to restore order. The aristocrats met in Austria Vienna. Their goal was to have peace and stability.

France had a goal and they accomplish it by:
1) Preventing future French aggression by surrounding France with stronger countries.
2) restore balance of power, so that no country would be threaten by others.
3) Restore Europe's royal family to the thrones they had held before Napoleon conquest.

The purpose of balance of power was not to weaken France so much. Also if any country got threaten the other countries would help them out. The purpose of legitimacy was to return the power to the king and queen.

For the Europeans the congress of Vienna was a success. It was a successful peace meeting in the history of the world. The Congress of Vienna left a legacy that would influence world politics for the next 100 years.

Simón Bolívar & Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson was the 3rd U.S. president. Jefferson was born on April 13, 1743 and died July 4, 1826. He was the spokesman of liberty. Thomas Jefferson was a writer, farmer, and a slave owner. Simón Bolívar was General and a dictator. He was born on July 24, 1783 and died in 1830. Simón fought in many country in South America and won their independence from Spain.

Some aspects I admire about Thomas Jefferson is that he became a lawyer and got a good education. I admire it because without the good education he wouldn't probably be a president, a lawyer, and a spokesman of liberty. I didn't admire how he wanted to keep slaves.

Bolivar and Jefferson got their ideas for the democratic government from life experience and they want to fight and get their freedom.

Their personal life experience made them who they are by their education, money, and friends. If these two were never born we would probably have problems in freedom.

Venezulea & The Enlightenment

Venezulea is country where the population is 29,100,000. Their persident is Nicolas Maduro. Venezuela is in the north of South America. The citizens in Venezuela are unhappy because the murder rate as being going up. The president Nicolas Maduro replace Hugo Chavez after his death. The opposition are the people who have a riot going on. They're demanding better security, protect freedom of speech, and an end to good shortage. This revolution is similar to Syria because they both wanted freedom of speech and liberty. I think sooner or later the opposition of Venezuela will get what they want.

Essential Documents

The "Due Process of law" is a regular administration of the law. No people can be denied of their rights. Also you can't be accused of a law you don't know (secret laws) everyone need to know the laws.

Popular sovereignty is when we the people give the government power the to do what's best for us. This is essential democracy because it's guaranteed freedom and not be dominated by foreign nation.

I think unalienable rights are a essential to  a democratic because they said we are created equal, and have liberty.

Representative government is an electroal system where the people get to vote to chose the people who can represent their interest and concerns.

The U.S. should not help in Syria Civil War

Syria is country in the western Asia. Syria population is 21.1 million people and their language is Arabic. Right now the biggest problem in Syria is the government. Syria has a civil war going on since march 2011.

The U.S. should not be involved in the Syria war because we are in other wars already so why should we be in more war. Many men are getting killed in the wars we are already in we do not want to lose more.  Also we wouldnt have enough supplies to support them.

If we get involved many more people would be dying. We shouldnt be supporting them because are other men in the others war need more help or need supplies. Also we dont want to be losing more people because their family are worried enough.

If we did help Syria out they would helps us too. Syria would be less damage and wouldnt have so much death. With the U.S. help Syria would be a safe place to live.

Even though Syria is having problems and need are help we couldnt help them. If we werent in other wars we would help them and support them. Since we are in others wars, and losing many people we cant help them.

How was the French Revolution different to the American Revolution

The American revolution and French Revolution fought differently. The Americans fought against England and the French fought against their own people. The French Revolution was more violent then the American Revolution. Also the American revolution was during 1775-1783 while the French Revolution was during 1789-1799.

THE FRENCH REVOLUTION

The French revolution got inspired by the american revolution; they read the Declaration of Independence and they admired it. 

The French people from the 3rd estate demanded that they wanted liberty, equality, and democracy because they didn't have that at all.

The members of the third estate were dissatisfied living under the older order. They were dissatisfied because they didn't have access to any good jobs and they payed 50% of their income to the rich, government, and church.

Enlightenment &Arab Spring

The revolution in Tunisia all started by one man named Mohamed Bouazizi. He was a 26 years old 

unemployment man who strugged to support his family by selling fruit on the street. Since he didnt have a permint the police took his fruit cart and started beating him. Mohamed thought it was wrong of what they did so he set himself on fire. After he took that action other people notice and they start to took action by starting a revolution.

All what the Tunisian wanted so to get freedom because their president didn't give them any rights.

The Arab spring and the American revolution are similar because they wanted to be free, be happy, and have justice.

Mohamed Bouazizi took the right reaction. What he did saw correct even though he killed himself he inspired many people to take act; fight for their rights, and freedom. With the revolution the people made they got the president Zine Al Abidine Ben Ali  to quit his job.

American Revolution

The American revolution got inspired by the  enlightenment ideas: freedom of speech, religious toleration, direct democracy, accused have rights, and etc. 

One enlightenment idea that I think its important is freedom of speech. Its important because everyone has the right to express their opinion without being punish. If we didn't have freedom of speech everyone would be scared to say nothing bad. Therefore we need it to what we want and when we want.
