Absolutism and Democracy DBQ

Document 1 (Machiavelli) Question: According to Machiavelli, what type of ruler must the prince be? Why is it necessary for him to rule in this manner? Answer: Rulers need to be strict and to be feared because people in general are untrustworthy. People should fear rather than love their ruler in order to maintain control

Document 2 (King James I) Question: What type of government does King James describe? Why does he believe it should be organized in this way? Answer: Absolute Monarchy. King James I believes in the divine right to rule of kings. He feels he is God’s representative on Earth, and there are no limitations to his power.

Document 3 (King Louis XIV) Question: What type of government does King Louis describe? Why does he recommend this type of government? Answer: Absolute Monarchy. He recommends this because it is easier for 1 person to rule and make decisions. It is in the best interest of the state for the king to have all the power.

Document 4 (Voltaire) Question: What type of government does Voltaire recommend? What specific freedom does he feel is essential? Answer: Democracy. Freedom of Speech is essential.

Document 5 (Locke) Question: Why is government established, according to Locke? What type of government does Locke describe? Under what circumstances can the people revolt? Answer: Governments are established to protect people’s natural rights(life, liberty, property). He describes a Democracy. People can revolt if the government is taking away/not protecting their natural rights.

Document 6 (Montesquieu) Question: What type of government does Montesquieu describe? Why does he believe it should be organized in this way? Answer: Democracy. He stresses the importance of dividing power so that no one branch or person has all the power(absolute monarchy). He created the idea of “checks and balances” and branches of government.
