TO-Do: 9/28/15 Notes: Great Awakening, Enlightenment, Glorious Revolution CC John Locke QUIZ TOMORROW! CH 3 & 4 ( )

The Glorious Revolution in America Changed the balance of power in England’s government. Parliament assumed greater control over the nation and its overseas territories. In 1685, King James II attempted to increase royal control by combining New York, New Jersey, and the New England colonies into the Dominion of New England. He was also appointing Catholics to positions of power & was seen to be favoring Catholicism even though he was the head of the church of England. Colonial governments were disbanded (Sir Edmond Andros) © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.2

The Glorious (and bloodless) Revolution…  Parliament invites James II Protestant daughter, Mary and her husband William to rule England  But…they must obey parliament’s wishes  They accept James II flees  He didn’t die so it was bloodless  Divine Right to Rule is DEAD!  Will & Mary sign the Bill of Rights to signal their “okay” We, William and Mary Of Orange Do hereby recognize Parliament as the Real power

OUTCOMES of the Glorious Revolution: Destroyed the idea or divine-right (absolute) monarchy in England The revolution established that the ultimate power in the state was divided between monarch and parliament and the monarch ruled with the consent of the governed A constitutional monarchy was formed with the making of the document known as the English Bill Of Rights No taxes raised or armies recruited without approval of Parliament No subject can be detained without due process King cannot suspend laws on his own Reality… is that the government is run by male property owners Exciting Time! “the rights of Englishmen!”

The Enlightenment A movement in the 1700’s that rejected traditional ways of life and looked for a more rational and scientific way to explain the world we live in It was an emphasis on the sciences and reason to explain things

Enlightenment Arguments Generally we are good and it our environment that influences us The use of science and reason could answer life’s mysteries Science and reason could also answer man’s questions concerning government and himself

Outcomes of the Enlightenment Great surge of literacy in the colonies Newspapers and book publications increase Schools are synonymous with new towns and villages Deism, God is the great clock maker

Outcomes of the Enlightenment People are born with natural rights Government has an obligation to protect those natural rights Kings have no right to govern people, people empower government

Sermons of Raw Emotion: The Great Awakening Reasons for The Great Awakening Sermons of Raw Emotion The Out Comes of The Awakening

The Great Awakening gave colonists a shared national religious experience

Reasons for The Great Awakening People felt that religion was dry, dull and distant Preachers felt that people needed to be concerned with inner emotions as opposed to outward religious behavior People in New England can read and interrupt the Bible on their own

George Whitefield Puritan Minster who used raw emotional sermons to reach all classes of colonists Preached that “good works” and “godly lives” would bring you salvation Forced to give sermons in open areas (revivals)

Jonathan Edwards a Puritan Minster terrified listeners with his sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”

Outcomes of the Great Awakening Birth of deep religious convictions in the colonies New churches built to accommodate new members New Lights Old Lights Colleges founded found to train new ministers

Outcomes of the Great Awakening Encouraged ideas of equality and right to challenge authority Birth of charity and charitable organizations played a key role in the development of democratic thought as well as the belief of the free press and the belief that information should be shared and completely unbiased and uncontrolled.
