P2: Martin Luther came to town wanting a few changes, Sparked uprisings and began religious transformations! When Catholics granted salvation to undeserving people, I stepped up, took a chance, and said “Naw, that stuff is evil” P3: I mean come on, really, is that all you have to say? I started multiple churches , but Martin Luther? No way! I guided Puritans, Presbyterians, but you? You started Lutheranism, sure, but your ideas are overdue! P2: I could say the same for you, Calvin! You see… You never said a thing until the 16th century! Now you just keep going on and on, it’s never fun. I got 95 theses but your crap ain’t one. P3: I helped the people, you never even did that, Luther! I promoted education, my church is so much cooler! You’re so caught up in details, like celibacy But when it comes to real problems, for you? Oh, please! P1b: Would you both shut up and pay attention to me? You tore apart Christianity! Can’t you two see? I’m a Catholic, and I know you think my church is all wrong, But what you preach leads to war, and now unity is gone! We’ll never get it back, with all the peasant revolts, And don’t even get me started on the 30 years war! Europe’s always changing, yes, I know that for sure, But Italy’s borders are changing now! There will never be a cure! Roles P1: a- Introduction; b- Catholic church member P2: Martin Luther P3: Jean Calvin AP World History Songs of Change Lyrics and Notes 3.

Commercial Revolution The Commercial Revolution - Patrick Horan, Charlie Harriman, Seth McLean, Alex Jensen Mercantilism One of the defining components of the Commercial Revolution Premise of this idea was that a nation’s wealth determined its power (Blum, 279.) Characteristics High tariffs Colonies used to accumulate wealth for the mother country Forbidding or limiting trade with other nations Promotion of domestic goods Limiting wages Promoting manufacturing Goal: To elevate the power of the state while strengthening the economy and weakening foreign adversaries. (Blum, 279.) Colonialism Colonies existed for the economic benefit of the mother country (Whittemore.) Labor systems like the Spanish encomienda system are used in colonies for cheap labor Valuable New World goods like maize and tobacco are brought back to Europe and Asia to be traded. (Stearns.) Colonies introduce many new goods into the Americas for trade with Native Americans (Stearns.) Joint-Stock Companies and Banks Commercial Revolution created the need for banks in Europe Banks could lend money to prospective entrepreneurs. (Cannon.) Banks issued “bills of exchange” Paper currency was easier to carry and safer than gold or silver (Whittemore.) Emergence of joint-stock companies Allowed ordinary people to invest in business ventures Many shareholders bore the profits and losses of these companies Less percentage of money pledged = less risk This is one of the earliest examples of a stock exchange As joint-stock companies became wealthier, they took on military and political power Example: The British East India Company established and ruled over the colony of India, and at one point had over 70,000 soldiers (Whittemore.)

Parliamentary Monarchy Ramkumar, Lu, Li, Gogineni Origins: Early History of Parliamentary Monarchy 1. Magna Carta - Created the parliament, or body of people, that checked on the power of the monarch(Stearns et al. 249) a. Monarchs exerted considerable influence on legislation until the end of the seventeenth century (What is a Constitutional Monarchy?). b.

Rights Given By Bill of Rights: Freedom from Royal interference with law, freedom of petition, freedom to elect members of parliament freely, no need to tax (What is a Constitutional Monarchy?). ii. Walter Bagehot: Victorian Economist, Writer on Parliamentary Monarchy 1. Monarch has 3 rights: “the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, the right to warn(History and Background).” c. Glorious Revolution - Took place from 1688 to 1689; the English Civil Wars lead to a final political settlement resulting the rise of parliament.(Stearns et al. 419). 2. Characteristics: a.

The king and queen represent the nation (British Monarchist League). c. Prime Minister governs the country, and is elected by the monarchy (British Monarchist League). d. Most Western European and some Asian countries today use parliamentary monarchy (British Monarchist League). → Ex: United Kingdom, Sweden, Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Norway, Denmark, Japan, and Thailand (British Monarchist League) Summary Changes: Limited power of monarchs, more power to the parliament(Stearns et al. 419).

Counter-Reformation Counter Reformation (1545-1648) The Counter-Reformation was a religious movement initiated in the mid-16th century in response to the growing influence of Protestants in Europe. (Concordia Seminary) Martin Luther’s opposition to the Catholic Church was a precursor to the Counter Reformation. (PBS) Luther wrote the “95 Theses” during the Reformation and spread his ideas through the printing press (PBS) His actions led to the Council of Trent, which met in Trent in 1545 (PBS) It is generally accepted by historians to have begun with Pope Paul III. (Concordia Seminary) After a slight bout of nepotism, he continued on to fill positions in the church with people devoted to reforming the declining Catholic church. (Concordia Seminary) He commenced the formation of organizations such as the Roman Inquisition, and approved Jesuits. (Concordia Seminary) The Roman Inquisition was a primary instrument in the Counter-Reformation. (Concordia Seminary) Modeled after the Spanish Inquisition, it tried to eradicate heresy in Europe through a tribunal of six inquisitors, who had the jurisdiction to punish anyone save for the Pope himself. (Concordia Seminary) “The Index of Forbidden Books” was published and it banned most translations of the Bible and the works of Erasmus, Calvin, and Luther. (Inview) New Churches were built for worshippers and instruments were designed for vernacular sermons, both of which designed to draw more worshippers (Inview) The Act of Supremacy completed Henry VIII’s break with the Pope and declared him as the official head of the church in England, showing how England went against the Catholic Church’s efforts (Inview) The Catholic Reformation led to more churches, absolute power of the Pope, it was strongly supported by Spain, it proved to the rest of the world that they were willing to change, and the church was finally open to criticism (Trueman). The Reformation failed to reclaim followers who had switched to Protestantism in Europe but it gained many new followers in the Americas (Trueman). Although ultimately most of the impact was limited to Jesuit activity in the Americas, the Catholic Reformation did preserve some key parts of Europe such as Poland, Hungary, and Southern Europe (Stearns, Schwartz and Gilbert) Works Cited C N Trueman "How Successful Was The Counter-Reformation?"historylearningsite.co.uk.The History Learning Site, 17 Mar 2015. 2 Dec 2015.
