A.
B. Quote:
• “If the might and eminence of a country consist in its surplus of
gold, silver, and all other things necessary or convenient for its
subsistence, derived, so far as possible, from its own resources
(colonies and conquered territories included) , without dependence
upon other countries, and in the proper fostering, use, and
application of these, then it follows that a general national economy
(Landes-Oeconomie) should consider how such a surplus, fostering,
and enjoyment can be brought about, without dependence upon
others, or where this is not feasible in every respect, with as little
dependence as possible upon foreign countries, and sparing use of
the country's own cash.”
-Philipp Wilhelm von Hornick
Austria Over All if Only She Will
B. Definition
• The main economic system used during the
sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. The main
goal was to increase a nation's wealth by
imposing government regulation concerning
all of the nation's commercial interests. It was
believed that national strength could be
maximized by limiting imports via tariffs and
maximizing exports.
Revolutions
• The Glorious Revolution, the American Revolution, and the
French Revolution had far-reaching consequences as they
challenged the institutions that shaped the political
structure of the world. Each attempted to establish
democratic principles of government, including limiting the
power of the government and extending rights to the
governed. Although each revolution occurred in a different
time and place, all three were based on the ideas that
government derives its power from the people it governs,
and government exists to protect its citizens who have
certain rights that cannot be denied. The Glorious
Revolution, American Revolution, and French Revolution
had enduring effects worldwide on political expectations
for self-government and individual liberty.

Impact of the Protestant Reformation
• The impact of the Protestant changed the religious beliefs,
practices, culture and society of Christians in Europe.
• The Protestant reformation divided Christians and reshaped
political and religious values in all of Europe
• The Protestant Reformation challenged the authority of the
Catholic Popes over regional rulers.
• Kings gained absolute control over their kingdoms. The
Protestant Reformation also led to Anti-Authoritarianism
resulting in contempt for the Medieval Feudal System and
the power of the the Feudal Lords and a preference for
government by the people.
• The Protestant Reformation led to modern concepts of
Democracy
Religious Freedom
• Many people came to America to search for
religious freedom. Their hope was to escape the
religious persecution they were facing in their
countries. The one thing they did not want to do
was to establish a church like the Church of
England. The colonists wanted a chance to
worship freely and have an opportunity to choose
which religion they wanted to take part in. Upon
arriving in America (the Pilgrims being the first to
arrive in 1620), the journey began for the search
of the "perfect" religion that could satisfy the
needs of the people.
Martin Luther and Indulgences
• On 31 October 1517, according to traditional accounts, Martin
Luther (1483-1546) posted up his 95 'Theses' or discussion points
on the door of Wittenburg Cathedral. Luther's major concern was
the corruption in the practice of selling indulgences, defined in the
Catechism of the Catholic Church as "...a remission before God of
the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been
forgiven." Indulgences were being sold to reduce (or in some case
eliminate) the time that departed souls would have to spend in
Purgatory, a place where the departed would go to expiate their
sins before admission to Heaven. Luther's actions are usually held
to mark the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, but they also
represent the culmination of a long period of discontent, disquiet
and change within Christendom.
