w. 48 - Exams returned + Enlightenment

If you have questions about your exam, please come talk to me.

You will have the chance to work with all of the criteria again. But if you didn't pass one or more criterion, some changes need to be made -- either in your study habits or the way I teach. Either way, it makes sense for us to have good communication so that we find the best way for you to succeed in the course.

The Enlightenment (chpt. 22)

Here are some of the slides I presented:

 

 

Clip from the series "The Crown" that I showed in class

p. 630 in your book:

Locke's ideas are among a number of new ideas that will lead to new thoughts about political questions such as 

-How rulers are selected
-The function of government  

-How a government should be organized - 

-The rights people have and where they emanate (come) from
-Where power lies 

With these new ideas, the answers to these questions start to be:

How rulers are selected - shouldn’t based in faith; should in some manner involve the will of the people
The function of government - serve the people; protect the rights of the people
How a government should be organized - independent branches
The rights people have - are natural, apply to people because they are human
Where power lies - with the people; leaders and representatives are elected in elections
